This is the online portfolio of Daphne Mason, New Zealand artist (1928-2020).
Daphne passed away in June 2020, one week after her 92nd birthday. Although struggling with the effects of her final illness, and macular degeneration, Daphne managed to complete some final drawings the week before her death; and took great delight in knowing that renowned designer rug firm, Dilana, had completed one of her works for their Artist’s Collection http://dilana.co.nz/daphne-mason .
Highlights of her final years: Daphne had 3 solo exhibitions in Central Auckland, New Zealand in 2016 and 2017, most recently at Studio One Toi Tu, Ponsonby. She was also one of a group of artists whose specially commissioned artwork was part of the 2016 curated exhibition: Kiwi Consciousness: Contemporary Artists from New Zealand curated by Rosa Maria Falvo, as part of the Imago Mundi Luciano Benetton World Art Collection, Italy. The exhibition is accompanied by a hardcover catalogue of the artists’ work.
