Art reception Saturday at the JACC

The Jacklin Arts and Cultural Center will host a free art opening reception featuring the works of late artist William F. Reese from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday.

An internationally renowned painter and sculptor, Reese died in June, 2010. He left behind an astonishing body of work of oils, pastels, watercolors, sculptures, etchings and instructional books. Reese celebrated the Northwest with majestic landscapes, delicate still lifes and chronicles of the lives of the men, women and creatures that inhabited the area.

Though prolific and proficient in several media, Reese was likely best known as one of America’s premier plein air artists, reveling in the majesty of the Northwest and setting up his easel outdoors in all kinds of weather and in every kind of location.
