Cameron Anne Mason combines her love of working with fabric with her aptitude for creating in three-dimensions and her early work in performance. This has led her to create fine art for the gallery, celebration art for performance, and interactive installations.

Cameron was introduced to fiber art in a master class with Aly Pretty, a British celebration artist, who uses a modified batik process to create large-scale elements for performance. Intrigued by the possibilities, Cameron came upon the work of Jane Dunnewold and her notion of complex cloth. Through a process of reading and experimenting, Cameron has developed an extensive knowledge of Surface Design techniques. Her endless fascination with color and texture on cloth informs all of her artwork.

Cameron gets great satisfaction from sharing her knowledge with students young and old in workshops. She teaches Surface Design techniques including: dyeing, discharge, batik, using resists, and printing on fabric using silk screens and other tools. Cameron has led workshops on banner making and other parade arts. Cameron teaches regularly at Pratt Fine Arts Center and Space to Create in Seattle.
