About
Kaitlin Mason
Originally, Kaitlin started college in an interior design program and later switched to the Fine Arts program at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario. After graduating, Kaitlin transferred to NSCAD University in Halifax Nova Scotia, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
Kaitlin’s interest in drawing fabrics started while in college, where she was photographing fabrics and creating large-scale collages. Kaitlin fell in love with all the little details the photo was able to capture and the idea that it could never be re-created in that form again.
Kaitlin creates her trompe-l’oeil fabric drawings by using multiple layers of coloured pencil on a wood panel surface. Leaving the wood exposed adds an additional element of organic detail, which is unique to each piece. She enjoys playing with light and shadows, in an attempt to transform an otherwise mundane item, into a sculptural entity.
Kaitlin continues to exhibit regularly at exhibitions and outdoor art fairs across Toronto, where she has received several accolades for her unique drawings, and has sent many pieces to collectors located all over the world.
