A graduate of the Tasmanian School of Art, (1970), and Monash University MFA (Research) (2004), Penny Mason’s painting career spans four decades. She has participated in many group shows and undertaken regular solo exhibitions since first exhibiting with Ilme Simmul at the George Paton Gallery, Melbourne (1977). Recent solo exhibitions include; Landscape Details, Wilderness Gallery, Cradle MountainWeather Events, Moonah Art Centre, Contemplations, Sawtooth ARI, Launceston (2018), Floating Worlds, Raft south, Hobart (2016) and Found in Translation, s.p.a.c.e Gallery Launceston, (2014).

Her work derives from ideas that circulate around the idea of landscape in the context of Tasmania, particularly the representation of land, country, sites, and views. She generates compositions using several randomizing techniques and exploits temperature, gravity, vibration and frost etching to create fields and surfaces that evoke landscape features and details within.

She is represented in public collections including the National Gallery of Australia and Artbank as well as national and international private collections.
