Biography
Bio-Carol Mayer
I have lived in the beautiful Peace country all my life. Originally from Valhalla I now live on Saskatoon mountain with my husband of 35+ years, 3 cats, and 1 dog. We built a straw bale house that fits in well with the landscape and the various and sundry wildlife that visit us.
I call my art Canadiana. The vivid colours of nature and ethnic art from around the world inspire me. I like to put animals in environments or with other animals that don’t ‘go together’ because to me it symbolizes the diversity of cultures in our wonderful country. When I put an east coast puffin by a north inukshuk and use the colours of Haida and Cree art and a symbol from Norway or Africa---it’s Canada! The small red dot is the heart, ‘where the wild things are’.
My art is available also at the Gift shop at the Legislature in Edmonton, Etsy, Artfire, and on clothing and everything else at
