Jean LeGassick Paintings
American, b. 1950
Jean LeGassick was born in California in 1950 and lived there for her first 47 years. She graduated from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, in 1979 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. LeGassick paints in plein air because “nature is the greatest teacher.” She prefers to travel by truck camper, so she can camp at the source of her inspiration. She often uses mule pack train sand hikes with art supplies carried on her back to remote campsites, immersing herself in the natural world. Her favorite places to paint are the rugged mountains, deserts, and seashores of the West.
As a longtime art instructor, LeGassick continues to occasionally teach oil painting workshops. LeGassick was recently honored by being chosen as one of six artists filmed for the PBS series, “Plein-Air: Painting the American Landscape” shown on public television stations across the nation. Jean LeGassick resides in Cedarville, a tiny town in the rural north-east corner of California.
Selected Collections
LeGassick’s work can be found in important public and private collections, including the permanent collection of the Nevada Museum of Art

"The Neighbors"
By George William Sotter
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork.
Signed lower right and is Illustrated in the Ashley John Gallery catalog titled "The Pennsylvania Impressionists".
George William Sotter (1879 - 1953)
Born in Pittsburgh on September 25, 1879, Sotter began his art education with local teachers and with Henry G. Keller, who had studied in various German academies. Keller, known for his superb, atmospheric watercolors, taught at the Cleveland School of Art but Sotter studied with him in Pittsburgh. Later Sotter would exhibit between 1903 and 1937 at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. His works were also shown at the Corcoran Gallery (1912-23), the Carnegie International (1901-26), the National Academy of Design (1913 and 1921), and at the Art Institute of Chicago (1911-27). In 1915, Sotter exhibited four works at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, where he won a silver medal. Sotter was known mainly as a stained-glass artist; his work may be seen from New York City to Salt Lake City. Around a dozen craftsmen worked under him for these commissions.
Sotter spent the summer of 1902 with Pennsylvania impressionist Edward Redfield in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. Between 1910 and 1919, Sotter taught at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. His paintings often feature large areas of sky filled with clouds and he frequently painted winter night scenes, such as Moonlight, Bucks County (Beacon Hill Fine Art), a perfectly successful depiction of a quiet, moonlit landscape filled with twinkling stars. Star-studded skies, although rare in landscape painting, go back at least to 1600 when they appear in the oeuvre of Adam Elsheimer...
