Welcome!

I’m Jessie Rasche, a professional artist based in South Dakota, originally from the Pacific Northwest. I paint the prairie and its inhabitants in a unique contemporary impressionist style.

My work focus​es​ on capturing the invisible connection between animals in a group, between animals and the land, and between people – in an unsentimental, painterly style filled with visible brush strokes and palette knife marks.​ The result is artwork which is often described as ​”impressionistic” and ​“painterly”.

My artwork is available through my studio, here, and in great art galleries, and it has been printed in lots of places, including:

Here’s my story.

 I have collected several works of art by Jessie Rasche and love her work! She has painted 3 custom commissions for me that are beautiful and I have a large painting that was featured in South Dakota magazine that I was able to purchase from …

 I took a drawing class from Jessie through an art group I belong to. She was professional, friendly, and alert to questions from the group. I most appreciated the explanation of value studies as that has been something I have struggled with …

Alonso Aranda If you are looking for personalized learning I highly recommend Jessie, she will go above and beyond to help you. Loved the three-hour classes it has so much to learn from. Thank you Jessie your help is greatly appreciated!!!
