About John N Mason

I worked as an illustrator in the advertising world. Now retired and painting and drawing in earnest again, not that I ever stopped. But now I have the opportunity to spend much more time on my art. Whether realistic still life or abstract, John creates paintings that are visually engaging. He draws the viewer into the scene, giving them an experience of a place or object. John’s Marine series draws on his early years as a member of Broken Bay Game Fishing Club and more importantly, on his years of sailing, and snorkeling around the islands of the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsundays Queensland where John lived for many years.

Why the initial N in my name is important, well John Mason is a very common name, and there are loads of John Masons that are artists, so I need something to separate me from the rest.
Any day that I don’t paint or draw something feels like a wasted day.
