Kaitlin Mason

Originally I started college in an interior design program and later switched to the Fine Arts program at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario. After graduating, I transferred to NSCAD University in Halifax Nova Scotia, where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

My interest in drawing fabrics started while I was in college, where I was photographing fabrics and creating large-scale collages. I fell in love with all the little details the photo was able to capture and the idea that it could never be re-created in that form again.

I create my trompe-l’oeil fabric drawings by using multiple layers of coloured pencil on a wood panel surface. Leaving the wood exposed adds an additional element of organic detail, which is unique to each piece. I enjoy playing with light and shadows in my drawings, in an attempt to transform an otherwise mundane item, into a sculptural entity.

I continue to exhibit regularly at exhibitions and outdoor art fairs across Toronto, where I have received several accolades for my unique drawings, and have sent many pieces to collectors located all over the world.
