Sophia Mason is an artist from American Fork, UT.  She lives in Memphis, TN. She works like an artist jotting down fevered inspiration from a museum’s storage rooms. She learned sewing through generations of artistic mormon women and picks sewing apart thanks to academics teaching her the intricacies of gender, race, and religious community in the American South and beyond. 

Sophia Mason attended Rhodes College and the University of Memphis for her MFA in Sculpture. She was an inaugural UrbanArt Commission New Public Sculptors Fellow in 2022. She has shown work in Field Guide at Intersect Arts Center and the Lambuth Airport in St. Louis, at Art Fields in Lake City, South Carolina, and most recently had her first solo exhibition Of Plural Worlds: Guided Tour at Coop in Nashville.

Mason runs an alternative space, the Little House Gallery and occasionally teaches introductory sculpture courses. She has written and published images of her work in the feminist periodical, Exponent II, and written for Burnaway and Number.
