Anna Mason’s passion for art has followed her since her youth, but she gave it up for seven long years. She decided she’d been sidelining her creativity for too long and started painting again, impressing everyone around her with her incredibly detailed watercolor paintings that depict food in a realistic light.
Mason spent her childhood years enamored with art, but something shifted once reality kicked in. Pursuing art didn’t feel like a viable career option, so she studied history, spent some time working in insurance, and tried to reconnect with her creative side by getting a master’s in interactive media.
She spent most of her 20s working in local government management, and seven long years went by before she finally summoned the courage to pick up the brush again.
“I’d tried a few times in those 7 years to pick up a brush but it always felt so difficult to start. For me, my main block was that I could never think of what to paint. And I also had a sense that anything I did paint would be a pretty pointless and frivolous waste of time!” Mason wrote on her official website.
After overcoming her creative block, Mason started painting every day, and many of her watercolor paintings share a common theme. She’s mostly inspired by nature and food, and she’ll win you over with her incredible realistic paintings of fruits, veggies, pastries, and other delicious treats.
