Emily Mason was raised in New York City amidst the avant-garde artist circle of her mother Alice Trumbull Mason’s friends and peers. When Emily was growing up, she would accompany her mother to events at, for example, the Eighth Street Club, where fellow attendees included Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler.
