- Notice biographique
- In 1935 Mulcaster studied education and fine arts at the University of Saskatchewan under Ernest Linder, earning a B.A. in 1945. Pursuing her interest in the arts, she also studied with Arthur Lismer at the Art Association of Montreal (1946), A.Y. Jackson at the Banff School of Fine Arts (1946) and attended the Emma Lake workshops for many years, working with Jack Shadbolt, Will Barnet, and Kenneth Noland. In 1976 Mulcaster earned a Masters in Fine Arts from the Institute Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She is known for her representations of woodland scenes and genre subjects. Her portraiture work often depicts highly stylized figures in solid forms of colour, outlined in black. In addition to her own practice Mulcaster was a renowned art teacher, working in public schools beginning in 1937 and was also Professor of Art Education at the College of Education at the University of Saskatchewan from 1964 to 1977. She was later Director of Art Education at the Saskatchewan Teacher’s College. Throughout her career Mulcaster was very active in the arts community, serving as Vice-President at the Canadian Arts Council (1943), Chairman, Saskatchewan Branch of the Federation of Canadian Artists (1941), and was Vice-President of the Canadian Society for Education Through Art (1953-54). Mulcaster’s work can now be found in the collection of the Manitoba Art Gallery, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, and the Edmonton Art Gallery.
