Nina Bernice Mason Booth (American, 1884-1958) nationally recognized painter, illustrator & instructor primarily known for her portrait paintings, landscapes, seascapes, pastels and still life paintings. Nina was born on August 25, 1884 in Gilbert Mills, NY to farmer and artist father Frank Elliott Mason (American, 1859-1936) and mother Sarah Elizabeth (née Wilson, married 1881) Mason (1856-1937). She had two younger brothers, Roydon "Roy" Martell Mason (American, 1886-1972) and Max Wilson Mason (American, 1889-1958) both of whom also went on to become well known artists in their own right. Nina was an exhibiting member of the Rochester Art Club, the Genesee Group of Rochester, the Buffalo Society of Artists, The Rationalists. From the 1920's through the early 1950's, Nina's portraits, figurative and still life paintings were regularly shown in venues such as the Albright Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY, Rochester Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY, and the National Academy of Design, NYC. In 1950, at the age of 65, Nina along with her brother Roy and one of her pupils, Rose Pontillo DiCarlo, co-founded the Batavia Society of Artists. "Nina established the Society to promote enthusiasm for art in the community, and to encourage young artists. The first meeting was held at the booth's 45 Ellicott Ave. address with thirty-five people in attendance. Among them were budding artists Virginia Mumford, Walter Garver, Jr., George Mahaney, Merrill Mabon and Lawrence Hopp. The society quickly grew from an initial membership to 110, with members coming from throughout Western New York, including Buffalo & Rochester.
