Anna Mason faced many ups and downs on her journey as an artist, but even a seven-year-long break from painting couldn’t keep her away from her true passion. She was instantly inspired after picking up a brush again, and her realistic food paintings quickly transformed her into a social media sensation.
Mason’s love for art was a defining part of her childhood, and she used to spend countless hours painting in her room in her youth. She put her creative aspirations aside later in life and decided to look for a more sensible career path, studying history, working in insurance, and pivoting to local government management by her mid-20s.
These jobs didn’t bring her much joy, but she remembered one thing that did. After seven years without painting, she decided to pick up a brush again and promised herself that the days of shelving her creativity were over. Her paintings helped her overcome many personal tragedies, especially after she became an art teacher and helped other artists follow their passion.
The days of struggling to find inspiration are long behind Mason, and she now sees it everywhere around her. She found viral fame and attracted 140,000 Instagram followers thanks to her ultra-realistic paintings of fruits, veggies, and other foods that perfectly showcase her attention to detail.
