Melany’ s mother, Emily Mason( 1932 – 2019), was equally devoted to the language of color, though she spoke it in a different dialect. A lyrical abstractionist whose work balanced spontaneity with precision, Mason was born in New York City and trained at Bennington College and Cooper Union. She studied painting in Venice on a Fulbright Fellowship, where she married Wolf. Their union would become one of the great creative partnerships in modern art.

Emily’ s paintings are radiant studies in transparency and emotion, layered washes of color that seem to hover between motion and stillness. For more than three decades, she taught painting at Hunter College in New York, inspiring generations of young artists. Walking through her studio on the farm, one can still feel her presence in the air— the scent of linseed oil, the jars of pigment on the shelves, the faint echo of brushes against canvas.“ It’ s like she never left,” Melany says.“ Her energy is still here, in every color.”
And then there is Alice Trumbull Mason( 1904 – 1971), Melany’ s grandmother and a pioneering figure in American abstraction. A descendant of the Revolutionary-era painter John Trumbull, Alice was among the first women to dedicate her career to nonobjective art in a time when abstraction was often dismissed or misunderstood. She co-founded the American Abstract Artists group in 1936— a collective that included Arshile Gorky and Piet Mondrian— and fought tirelessly to promote abstract art as a legitimate, spiritual language.
