“Seeking the Light”-acrylic 20-VI Painting

Artist's journey as a self-taught artist- Casey-Mason was exposed to the language of painterly skills by studying the works of Monet, Pissarro, Sisley, and Morisot, which she appreciated and learned from. Her early impressionistic works from 1995 to 2010 portrayed landscapes, farms, nature, buildings, marine paintings, rural scenes, and still lifes. In 2002, she attended her first workshop in Monet's gardens, which inspired her dream to live in France. After attending her second workshop in the south of France, she sold her home in the U.S. and left her corporate job to move to the French countryside. The landscape that had inspired her became her life where she created light-filled flower & vegetable gardens, renovated a Toulouse Lau-wreck stone house while teaching art, showing art, painting the countryside & her gardens. During these years, she discovered the works of Gerhard Richter, Joan Mitchell, and Jackson Pollock, whose use of colors, expressive brushstrokes, intuition, and individuality stirred her imagination. Casey-Mason adopted their approach, which has dominated her art making for the past ten years, celebrating her freedom, love of color, and wonder on her canvases through abstractions that are never far from the rhythms of nature and life experiences. The hues sit well and resonate with intuitive marks. Casey-Mason now resides in the U.S. Her landscapes and abstracts have found homes in New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Minnesota, California, Georgia, North Carolina, Australia, Mexico, France, England and Germany
