Mayr Boros is a textile artist and writer from the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota metro area. Her inspirational/prayer book, The Dance of Creation: A Labyrinth of Healing Prayer and Art, ©2014, is pending publication by Good Ground Press, St. Paul, Minnesota. Mayr is founder of the “Bear and Prayer Program” which has distributed over 2,000 teddy bears to those in need, including to those in New York, after 9/11. Through her international “Labyrinth of Hope” project, hand beaded labyrinths have been sent from various communities, including faith communities, to Peru, Iraq, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Thailand and Haiti. Mayr is a single mom, Registered Dietitian and a pancreatic and breast cancer survivor. She’s grateful, that when she was five years old, her mother handed her one of her Dad’s old woolen army socks with a hole it and told her to “fix it.” Though she wondered what she was supposed to do with the light bulb (instead of a darning awl) that was also handed to her, once the needle was threaded and the first stitches were taken, she was never the same. The beginning of her life-long love of sewing had arrived.
