American painter Mary Wesselhoeft studied at the Boston Museum School, München and in Paris, although her parents were from Thuringia. In Paris she met Gertrude Stein who influenced her. Wesselhoeft worked mainly with glass. The majority of her works from this early period were destroyed in World War I. After her return to the United States, she worked in Cambridge, Massachusetts, teaching drawing. She later moved to New York City, where she opened a studio. In the late 1920s, she settled in California. Wesselhoeft’s artworks included watercolor landscape painting, graphics, illustration, crafts and stained glass windows, often for churches.
