Carol L. Myers was born and raised in Baltimore, MD. Experiencing the area’s lush landscape and major waterways assured her love of nature in all forms. The city also provided a rich visual, cultural and literary history with visits to museums and libraries and frequent trips to Washington, D.C. Her parents also surrounded her with creative activity, and encouraged her interest in art as an avocation, if not a career.

In 1976, Myers earned her BFA in Printmaking at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor while working her first job as a Registered Nurse. Relocating to Indianapolis, Indiana in 1979, she continued to involve family and workplace in the arts. Myers was active at the Indianapolis Art Center as a student and teacher. She was also a Docent at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, and curator of the gallery at the Cultural Complex at the Indianapolis Art Center. She has shown in many national and regional shows, several solo shows, and has participated in several cooperative galleries. Myers has prints in several museum collections and a large quilt “Women, Why do you Weep” displayed in the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital. Leaving the hospital workplace in 1999 allowed her to focus on her studio work. Myers was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from the Indiana Arts Commission in 2000 and served on their grant review panel in 2001. Moving into the Stutz Business and Art Center, her participation in the arts community continued as Director of the StutzArtSpace Gallery, President of the Stutz Artists Association, and Chairperson of the Annual Raymond James Stutz Artists Open House 2011-2012. In recognition of her medical background and commitment to the healing nature of art, Myers was selected as Chairperson and Curator for the Stutz Artists Association Partnership with Clarian Hospitals, bringing staff, patients and visitors into closer contact with the arts.

Currently, Myers maintains an active full-time studio practice in Southwestern Michigan and participates in arts communities in Chicago, IL, South Bend, IN, South Haven, MI and Kalamazoo, MI. She is teaching at the Kirk Newman Art School at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art. Myers also serves on the Board of the South Haven Center for the Arts and chairs their exhibition committee. Coming full circle, she is inspired once again by nature and close proximity to large bodies of water: Paw Paw Lake and Lake Michigan
