Bio
Sherry Mason, an award-winning artist based in East Tennessee, finds her muse in the interplay of light across landscapes, waterways, and the heavens above. Her devotion to the natural world infuses her artistry, leading her to paint en plein air for initial studies before refining her pieces in the studio. Sherry’s technical prowess has been honed through a personal artistic journey, enriched by the guidance of master painters like Joseph McGurl and Bill Farnsworth, whose workshops she attended. She also credits John MacDonald, Ken Salaz, John Pototschnik and other contemporary artists whose DVDs she has immensely studied.
