Henry Martin Gasser was fond of the terrain within the small coastal towns of the North Shore of Massachusetts. He traveled alongside his teacher and friend, John Grabach, to Massachusetts and joined both the Rockport and North Shore Arts Associations, where he frequently lectured and demonstrated. His fascination with this coastal landscape earned him recognition for street scenes and snow-covered townscapes of Gloucester and its environs.
