Mermaids, Goddesses and other Mythical Simulacra  

alice mason - fine artist

I am a fine artist/painter and a Mother. For me, art is all about imagination, and my work is seldom purely representational. I love the idea of creating our own reality, in art as in life.

It is my intention, in my work and my world, to create a utopia, or feeling of paradise. In the process of creation I create a world. I am a dream-weaver.

I seek to convey serenity, equanimity and light. Sometimes surreal in quality, my interests in secular spirituality, quantum physics and metaphysics are reflected in my paintings.

I am fascinated by the notion of parallel worlds, and how a single slight perceptual shift can alter everything. At the moment my love of mythical female archetypes, such as mermaids are my passion. I also love to paint angels and other-worldly benevolent beings.

My other painterly passions are in more abstracted decorative "cosmic" imagery, wherein I explore the world at a more quantum/molecular level and our place and form within the infinite.

I have many years experience exhibiting my work in London, Los Angeles, the French Riviera, and Bath and East Sussex, UK.
