Mason (1955 - )
Marjorie Mason was born in New York City in 1955. She graduated
from The Shipley School in 1974 and received her BFA from the
Rhode Island School of Design in 1981. Her work in monotype and
oils is an expression of Martha’s Vineyard land and seascapes,
as well as the quality of light unique to that region.
She has been working in monotype for over 25 years, developing
her own technique and process. Her paintings are done in a
traditional method of oil painting. Her process of painting “wet
on wet” in oil produces unique and beautiful effects
when printed. The final painting “echoes the transparency
of a watercolor, the mystery of pastel and the permanence of
oil”.
Mason’s favorite times to capture the Vineyard are sunrise
and sunset, when the light is cleanest and warmest respectively.
She often grabs her camera at the hint of a storm. Marjorie’s
love of the Vineyard is clearly reflected in all of her work.
