context_page_description: Wynona Croft Mulcaster was a Canadian painter and teacher from Saskatchewan, best known for her prairie landscapes. She also played an important role in developing competitive riding in Saskatoon.
context_section_description: In the late 1930s, Mulcaster helped establish what would later become the Emma Lake Artist's Workshops in Emma Lake in northern Saskatchewan. She was to attend workshops there from 1937 until 1993.
  Between 1937 and 1943 she taught art to school children in Prince Albert and rural Saskatchewan.
  Mulcaster became a teacher at the Saskatchewan Teachers' College in Saskatoon in 1943, and was Director of Art Education there from 1945 to 1948. One of her students at the teacher's college in 1947 was Henry Bonli (1927–2011). Otto Rogers (born 1935) attended Saskatoon Teacher's College in 1952-53, where Mulcaster introduced him to cubism, a style he was to adopt for himself. Mulcaster helped establish the Canadian Society for Education through Art in 1955 in Quebec City. Charles Dudley Gaitskell was elected the first president.
  From 1964 until 1977 Mulcaster was Associate Professor in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Saskatchewan.  Her students included Robert Murray and Allen Sapp. Allen Sapp made oil and acrylic paintings of life on an Indian reservation. Mulcaster said his paintings were marked by a personal realism, recording the people, landscape, and animals with restraint, freshness and honesty.
