About Peggy Casey-Mason

“A composition...and every work of art is one...is created in a wondrous interplay between imagination and reason, or between mind and reflection. For there will always be an element of chance in the creative process. You have to turn the sheep loose before you can start to herd them.” -Jostein Gaarder————————————————————————————————————————————- Peggy Casey Mason was born in Boston, Mass in 1953- Monet..de Kooning...Mitchell....Neltje....Richter... Pissarro... Sisley....Morisot....Pollack...all influence my work. My abstract art making isn’t scripted. I go into each painting session with uncertainty. To me, not knowing what the outcome will be mirrors life. By leaving things to chance at the beginning of each painting, I allow the process to reveal the outcome. This unpredictability fuels my creativity and is the impetus to put paint on a canvas.
