The artist being the mother of a special needs child  - has known this ecstatic prayer position since the birth of her first “normal” child and even more since the birth of her ‘special’ daughter Maya.

The psychological self portrait is of a woman
begging, pleading and gratefully receiving God’s eye on her child – depicted here by the shape her praying arms form.- a soft kind & understanding eye.
while holding her child’s life flame up to God to receive, look after and protect.

In her prayer – she opens herself and her being – like ONLY a mother can
to ONLY God.- her ONLY safe place for total exposure, her only Hope and her EVERYTHING

The imperfections of the canvas and the off-centeredness depicts the curve balls life deals even the most Blessed ones among us.
while
The Joyous open arms receive the Grace – ready to dance with wild abandon to the music of life. 

God Bless the Children of Praying Parents.

Nosy Rosy talks to Marusa Mason whilst sipping Eskom tea on the patio of Savannah. Marusa Mason was born to paint.
Why did you become an artist?
“Art gives me great pleasure. I find it fulfilling and stress relieving.” Marusa showed talent from an early age and painted throughout her school career. “Art is character building and I find it therapeutic.”
What is your current inspiration?
“I am inspired by colour and textures, the earth, people.” She draws her inspiration from her surroundings and does not enjoy working on a smooth canvas.
When did you first exhibit, how has your work changed and when can we expect another exhibition?
Marusa worked with Corne Pienaar from 1991 to 1993 and together they held exhibitions of painted jelutong wood carvings at Bellingham Wine Estate, the Strand Pavilion and the Baxter Gallery.
She exhibited with Namibian artist Hein van Huyssteen at the Somerset West Country Club. Her underwater paintings were accepted by Galerie Lassen in San Francisco. In 1997 Marusa held a solo exhibition at the Neelsie Centre in Stellenbosch of whales and dolphins. In 1998 she exhibited at the Fisherman’s Gallery of Hermanus and then started to move away from realistic interpretations and began to explore a more creative and expressive approach to her work.
Abstracts?“Yes, I commenced work on large abstract figure canvases and then exhibited at the Library Hall in Hermanus in 2000.”
Back to my question of your next exhibition?
Marusa has been invited by a private collector to exhibit in Mozambique in December. This collector is interested in her underwater work, the whales, sharks and dolphins and has commissioned her to paint a dugong, endemic to the area. Although primarily an oil pointer, Marusa enjoys mixed media and is a surprisingly versatile artist. When not painting, she enjoys golf and hiking. She is a firm believer in stimulating every part of your body. Both spiritually, emotionally and physically. She enjoys spending time with her family and a huge benefit of being an artist is being able to work from home.
