| Natalie A Mason |
| |
|
Firstly, I would like to say a very sincere THANK YOU to everyone who has gone to the trouble of voting for my piece "Barbara's Tiger" in the Saatchi Showdown Competition. I really am so grateful to you all, thank you so much!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Born in 1970 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, Natalie Mason has used her creative talents to depict her moods for most of her life.
Today she resides in a small hamlet on the outskirts of Sheffield, in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside, with her husband, two cats, and too many fish to mention :)

| About the Artist |
After playing with the Arts at school level, Natalie left Art for a long time, and only recently went on to study Fine Art, Drawing and Painting at the Regent Academy, London.
In 2004, after leaving her full time job as an International Buyer, to spend more time with her dear Father who was very ill, she decided to set up the Mason Contemporary Art Studio, and has never looked back. Business has grown, and Mason Arts now has many clients, from individuals to corporations, all over the UK and as far away as America, Canada, South Korea and Australia.
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!
She sells her work via her website www.mason-contemporary-arts.co.uk, locally via carefully chosen outlets, and via commissioned work worldwide. |

Old Ruins
2004 Acrylics on Exhibition Wrapped Canvas 75x50x4cm |
|
A large painting depicting the old ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, Whitby, North Yorks, England.
The dawn light seeps through the windows of the ruins, creating an almost hauning scene, especially with the inclusion of the ancient graveyeard in the foreground.
This painting was commissioned, and is therefore not for sale. |

This stunning piece is on an Exhibition Canvas, the painting continues over the sides, and is enhanced with two coats of semi gloss professional varnish. All of my works come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, Care and Contact Info, and an aftersales service which is second to none! |
