A rara avis among New York painters, Mason was brought up and has spent most of her life on Manhattan Island. As a child, her family made their home in Greenwich Village. Her father was a sea captain with American Export Lines. Her mother, Alice Trumbull Mason, a descendant of John Trumbull, the illustrious painter of the American Revolution, was a noted artist in her own right.  Candled, Emily Mason Mason mère et fille once exhibited their work together in a show, "Two Generations of Abstract Painting", held in 1982 at Skidmore College and Tulane University. But their visions and styles, albeit abstract, are distinctly different. "My mother was a good friend of Piet Mondrian and later in life her work became more straight-edged," the daughter recalls. "Someone once asked her about the differences in our work and my mother said, 'Emily has her art and I have mine.'" HYLAND
