~ Guest Artist ~ 'Natalie Mason' Born in 1970 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Natalie Mason has used sketching and painting to depict her moods. She went on to study Fine Art, Drawing and Painting at the Regent Academy, London. Today, she is still endlessly inspired by the vibrancy and diversity of our beautiful country, and of those countries she has visited, and continues to represent these vibrant colours in her work. As life turns so does Natalie’s art – Her surroundings often dictate her style. Natalie’s early years were spent studying form and subject, manipulating and pushing boundaries. Painting in different mediums and subjects so she could learn and ultimately grow as an artist. A beautiful sunset, a tranquil brook, or simply a pose from her extrovert cat is usually enough for Natalie to get out her pencils and paints! She gains inspiration from things that are dear to her and near to her, as she lives near beautiful countryside, so Natalie never has to go that far to find something to please the eye. In her very personal and unique style, her objective in art is to show feeling and emotion, to recapture and communicate this within an image, concentrating less on the reality of form and more on the impression it creates on the senses. She hopes to effectively convey these feelings to her audience. Natalie works as a freelance artist and enjoys selling her original works of art to those who enjoy buying it! |
