She currently resides in Seattle, WA. Her art is sold in many parts of the world.."Mayr says her art is the result of "spontaneous emotion that comes from inside." Emotion comes across so strongly in some of her pieces, that according to Mayr, "most people think they were painted by a man." Despite the thematic gravity of Mayr's art, her works are festive, vibrant, and celebratory. "I believe in life more than anything else," she says. "Even when it's craziest it can still be the best." The paintings represent the soul and the sublime in the human being.
