About Sarah Mason


I’m a born and raised in Denver, Colorado and a 2026 graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, where I study Illustration.

My work explores themes of childhood, nostalgia, suburbia, and the contrast between man-made environments and nature. I’m particularly drawn to color, glitter, religion, the body, femininity, and art history. 

In my practice, I focus on shape language, the interplay of color, and the balance between abstraction and representation. The color pink is a central motif in my work, often referencing power and femininity. My painting techniques are inspired by the iridescence of gemstones like opal, the intricate forms of microscopic organisms, the fluidity of the ocean, and various patterns found in nature. 

While I primarily work as a painter, I enjoy experimenting with a variety of media, allowing my creativity to flow across different forms of expression. Through my art, I aim to create vibrant, thought-provoking experiences that resonate with the viewer.
