Angie's childhood played a key role in her artistic development. Being isolated as an introverted child she took solace in the creation of characters and imaginary worlds. This would later be the main source that her artwork thrives on. Her characters are extensions of the human condition; Monstrous beings that are sad, ugly, losers who have a longing and desire for something better mixed with a hint of innocence there is an air of hope to her work. Her characters and worlds are both horrific and humorous , yet speaks of what it means to be human.

In Mason's paintings she creates a vibrant visual playground where her melancholy menagerie of characters and worlds exist. It is a disturbing world full of nonsensical fluff, failed pipe dreams and beautiful imperfections. Angie's work is a funny, whimsical, dark and tragic view at the wonderful mess of life.

Her works capture subtle life twists weaving them together to form a patchwork quilt of emotions. Her sources of influence reflect the breadth of her experience, ranging from her disjointed upbringing to traveling, dreams, failure and illness. These influences cause a balance of light and dark that intermingle in her work, creating a fairy tale all its own.

Currently, Angie is living in a spooky old house in Northern, New Jersey with her husband Lyle, and their very bad kitty Mr. Nervil NerverBurger. Her work has been exhibited all over the world in such places as Los Angeles,New York City, Tokyo, Paris London, and Berlin. You can be sure to find Angie and her cat in her studio making mischief, painting, drawing or simply just daydreaming.

Let Rotted Teeth Rot ... Viva la Rot! Recently I was so super happy to hear that the very talented actress and writer Amber Tamblyn wanted some Rotten Tooth Earrings of her own...she sent me a photo of her wearing her pair of my darling grotesque Rotten Tooth Earrings ! Her ears are a perfect home for them even though that tooth's face is sad I KNOW how happy he is to be hanging there! I have a bunch of additional Rotten Tooth Earrings I will be adding to the Angie Mason Art Shop but there are still some left that are currently up right now if you want a pair of your own.
