Carol L. Myers is an artist whose work emerges from a deep connection to nature and a belief in the healing power of art. Raised in Baltimore, Maryland, she developed her visual language along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. While initially pursuing a nursing career, Myers rediscovered her passion for art while living in Ann Arbor, Michigan, leading to her acceptance into the University of Michigan School of Art. There, she fell in love with drawing, line, and texture.
Her work, often described as representational abstraction, weaves together forms from nature, subtle energy, and meditative intention. Through her daily practice of Pencil Prayers, Myers engages in “embodied creation,” grounding her art in intuition and the healing energies of the natural world. Whether working in graphite, encaustic, printmaking, or textiles, her pieces invite reflection, connection, and storytelling.
Influenced by artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Georgia O’Keeffe, and the poetry of Mary Oliver, Myers’ serene imagery resonates with viewers seeking a quiet space for healing and wonder. Following the profound loss of an adult daughter in 2013, Myers came to know firsthand that art is not merely expressive—it is transformative and restorative. She is an active member of the Women’s Caucus for Art (Indiana, Michigan, and Chicago chapters), the Chicago Alliance of Visual Artists, Surface Design Association, and FUSEDChicago. Her work has been exhibited nationally and regionally and is included in several museum collections. She maintains a home studio on Paw Paw Lake in Southwest Michigan, a public studio at the Box Factory for the Arts in St. Joseph, and a creative retreat in Chicago near Montrose Harbor.
