A Philadelphia native, Gass developed a unique artistic voice within the New Hope School, a movement celebrated for its vibrant depictions of local landscapes and expressive, light-filled compositions. Her work is often described as “diminutive Impressionism,” capturing intimate moments with broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and a masterful use of color and light. In addition to traditional painting, Gass explored innovative techniques such as monotype printing—creating one-of-a-kind images by painting on a polished plate and transferring the design to paper.
