I’m an artist based in Como, south of Sydney. I’ve lived here for 20 years in a small townhouse next door to an old butcher’s shop.
My studio is in my garage which is part of the townhouse. I paint in there whenever I have time. Sometimes I paint Renaissance imagery mixed with 20th century art. Occasionally there’s a carcass hanging in my paintings.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the National Art School in 2008. Since then, I’ve been pursuing all kinds of creative endeavours including 3D forms, textile creations, animated graphics and videos alongside the more traditional painted, drawn and printed mediums.
One of my favour things to paint is people – close ups of their faces. Sometimes I put people in imaginary settings, or old fashioned clothing. I love the fun of creating a scene with a story that’s meaningful. https://www.kathleenmasonfineart.com/
