Artist Bio
Steve Mason was raised outside of Boston, MA. He started painting in high school, where he first began to examine how we see things. His studies in art at Stanford University, which included six months in Florence, Italy, resulted in a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Art. He moved back to the East Coast, where he turned to commercial fishing to eat, working on his art between trips and in the off-season. Eventually, he moved to Arizona to resume his art full-time. For nineteen years, he taught and oversaw the 2-D Fine Arts Program at Yavapai College in Prescott while developing his digital work and stereoscopic research. He has shown paintings, monoprints, and digital prints locally, nationally, from California to New York, and internationally from Rio to Venice (including online shows), as well as lecturing on stereoscopy, brain function, and their relationship to art. He is currently creating and exhibiting from his studio at the Art Hive in downtown Prescott, Arizona.
