Erin Lobb Mason is an artist and musician from Louisville, Kentucky, currently based in upstate New York. She works and teaches in a variety of media including printmaking, watercolor and oil paint, and ceramics. Her work is grounded in a strong sense of place and draws inspiration from the natural world. Her paintings and prints have been featured in galleries throughout the northeast including New Era Gallery, AS220, Portsmouth Arts Guild, Pawtucket Arts Guild, Kendal Gallery, and The Collaborative. She works closely with local farming and land trust organizations to bring the joy of being outdoors to her community through compelling images. Though her current art practice includes everything from scientific illustration to portraits, her passion lies in the collaborative and democratic process of printmaking. Since 2020 Erin has been working with printmakers and activists at AS220 Industries and Bidon Community Studios to share skills needed for self expression and resistance. She leads workshops throughout the northeast in printmaking, drawing and painting, and is driven by a desire to share the community building and collaborative spirit of printmaking.

Erin is also a musician and enjoys collaborating with the music community on everything from posters and band merch to banners and mural scale art pieces related to music. She attended Oberlin College and Conservatory in Ohio from 2007-2011 where she studied upright bass and psychology, took her first painting class, and met her partner, Will. After graduation she moved to New York City to play music and graduated from Columbia University with a masters degree in occupational therapy in 2015. She began working with adults with disabilities as an occupational therapist in 2015, specializing in neurological disorders and hand/upper extremity therapy. She incorporates expressive and creative therapies wherever possible. She is a founding member of the Black River Belles, Ginny’s Kitchen, 5 Mile String Band, and The Whelks (www.whelkswhelkswhelks.com). She believes strongly in the power of collaborative artmaking of all kinds to heal and create a better world.
