Penny Mason

My painting career spans four decades.
I am interested in ideas that circulate around the idea of landscape in the context of Tasmania, particularly the representation of land, country, sites, and views. I generate compositions using several randomizing techniques and exploit temperature, gravity, vibration and frost etching to create fields and surfaces that evoke landscape features and details within.

I am graduate of the Tasmanian School of Art, (1970), and Monash University MFA (Research) (2004).

I have participated in many group shows and undertaken regular solo exhibitions since first exhibiting at the George Paton Gallery, Melbourne (1977). Recent solo exhibitions include; Weather Events, Moonah Art Centre, Contemplations, Sawtooth ARI, Launceston (2018), Floating Worlds, Raft south, Hobart (2016) and Found in Translation, s.p.a.c.e Gallery Launceston, (2014).
