Early Inspiration and Connection to the Landscape

Working en plein air is central to Mason’s artistic practice. He thrives on the challenge of rapidly changing weather, dramatic light conditions and the raw elements of the British landscape. His plein‑air paintings are a skilled tribute to the natural beauty of the UK, and he aims to create artworks that allow viewers to feel as though they can step directly into the scene.
Mason often describes the experience of painting outdoors as a chance to “disappear into the landscape,” a feeling he hopes to share through his art.
