Nicola Mason
mixed-media works



Nicola Mason was born in Jacksonville, Florida, and grew up along the southern East Coast. She attended Mary Washington University and then Louisiana State University, where she received her Master of Fine Arts degree in 1994. For a number of years she created ceramic sculpture and wrote fiction, publishing stories in national literary journals and anthologies while working as an editor. She was awarded an NEA Fellowship in 2000.
Upon moving to Cincinnati in 2001, she began taking courses in the DAAP (Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning) program at the University of Cincinnati and was soon experimenting with mixed-media flatwork and assemblages. In 2003, she established The Cincinnati Review, a journal of the literary and visual arts. She left that position in 2017 to launch the book-publishing arm of the magazine, Acre Books (acre-books.com), which publishes fine works of poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction.
