Biography: George W. Sotter lived in Holicong, Pennsylvania, near New Hope, in a converted 19th Century stone barn. There, in his studio, he painted landscape scenes of Bucks County, an act that connected him to the New Hope School of American Impressionism. Sotter also fashioned stained glass windows that remain intact in cathedrals, churches, and monasteries throughout the country. In his early youth, Sotter painted the rivers and mills of Pittsburgh, PA, where he was born in 1879. He came to Bucks County in 1902, to study under Edward W. Redfield, the premier painter of the New Hope School. That same year, he participated in the annual exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He continued his studies at the Academy under William Merritt Chase, Thomas Anshutz, and Henry G. Keller. Sotter was especially adept at painting winter night scenes, and consistently won the favorite painting ballot (cast by his artist colleagues) at the autumn exhibitions that took place in Phillips Mill, New Hope, PA. The artist died in 1953.
