Carol Mayfield
Born and raised in San Diego, Carol Mayfield studied art at SDSU in the graduate program, at the Archie Bray Foundation with Patti Warashima, Idyllwild School of the Arts with Maria Martinez, Mesa College with TJ Dixon, and Clay Associates with Rhoda Lopez, Eric Wood, and Jerry Thiebolt.
She taught ceramics for more than 30 years in public and private schools in San Diego, California. She also owned the beloved “Clay for Kids” mobile ceramic studio.
Now retired from teaching, she has immersed herself in painting narrative and colorful images inspired by nature. Similar to her many sculptures, Mayfield is now focused on making whimsical art of animals and florals; but now they are paintings with bright, saturated color palettes.
As demonstrated in her sculpture practice, Mayfield has a deep love of the natural world and translates her subject matter into joyful yet sophisticated works with conceptual underpinnings. Narrative, colorful, and whimsical are fitting descriptions of Carol Mayfield’s extensive body of work.
