Karen Mason

Karen Mason, originally from Dublin Ireland, takes her inspiration from the natural beauty of the scenery she has experienced while exploring all over the world as a traveling nurse. Having traveled extensively in Europe, Asia, and Africa, Karen now calls the North Georgia mountains her permanent home. Her works try to make a connection with nature and reflect peace and tranquility that is observed in rural and farming communities.

While I have had very few formal training classes over the years I consider myself a self-taught artist through reading and studying the techniques used by contemporary artists. My method normally involves extensive photography of my subjects and then capturing those results on my canvas. I also enjoy Plein Air painting as taking in beautiful scenery is such a pleasure and transferring that beauty to a canvas is very rewarding.
