CLARE MASON ARTWORKS
“I act to capture the gemlike quality of the sea — the momentary gem-like flash of light as a wave crashes onto the shore.”
In deep blues and gentle sand-tones, Clare’s artwork acts to preserve a single moment of witnessing the sea, the energy and intensity of Cornwall’s surrounding seascape translated into paint. Her work often incorporates residual silver and gold dust from the jewellery bench to create true light-reflective highlights in the paintings and allowing the scene to come to life in the frame.
-
Clare Mason’s paintings are created on a range of surfaces, including cotton and linen canvases. In her work she predominantly uses old Holland oil paint, and experiments with Indian ink and metallic watercolour paint for select pieces.
-
All pieces are painted by Clare Mason in Penzance, Cornwall. The smaller works are painted in her studio on Chapel Street, and the larger works are painted at her home studio.
