Selected Gallerist Quotes
“Thank you for being so much fun to work with, I’m so glad your work is in the JFAC Gallery where it is connecting with people. What I really enjoyed about your opening is watching people light up with recognition when looking at your paintings. Then they felt comfortable enough to tell their personal stories!”
– Alexis Doerr, JFAC Gallery Directory and Lecturer of Art, School of Fine Arts
“I viewed your beautiful show several times since it opened, and was really taken with your conception, approach, and technique. … Thank you again for adding so much to our season.”
– Dr. Kenneth Boulton, Dean, NSU School of Fine Arts
“With her bold brushwork and ethereal edges, Jessie Rasche’s figure work leaps off the canvas with an energy that a quarantine-weary population craves. You’ve never seen the everyday world around you so brilliantly expressed.”
– Kristi Thomas, 2021 curator for the Center for Western Studies
“Jessie captures the infinite depth of the South Dakota landscapes.”
– Cody Henrichs, Curator of Washington Pavilion Visual Arts Center
Selected Press Quotes
“South Dakota artist Jessie Rasche’s beloved subjects—the landscape, animals, and people of the Midwest—could appear pedestrian under another’s hand. Rasche, however, skillfully infuses them with a sense of connection between people and the land, between animals, and between individuals. Her abstract brushwork and harmonious limited palette calm the weary soul.”
– Beth Williams, Arts Writer, Southwest Art Magazine
“She likes to illustrate an image or emotion with patterns and gestures, many brush strokes that add up to a finished piece … When you step close to one of her paintings, you can see deliberate strokes of color, and when you step back, the colors blend and become whole, encompassing the viewer with a moment of beauty.”
– Jennifer Larue, Arts Reporter for the Spokesman Review.
“There is a somewhat Romantic or nostalgic quality to [Rasche’s painting], but it is not overly idealized or accentuated to the point of artifice or disbelief. Instead the landscape is rendered as endearing in its straight forward candor and naturalness.”
– Greg Blair, PhD, BAC 2018 juror of awards
