Carola von Mathes was in 1857 as the daughter of Salzburg make imperial court councilor and court president Karl Mathes - since 1880. "Knights of Mathes" - born. She studied with the landscape painter Fritz Baer in Munich, whose wife she became in October 1890. The couple first settled in Theresienstraße and moved to Pasing near Munich in 1893 , which was not incorporated into the Bavarian capital until 1938. Fritz Baer acquired the right to live in Pasing and his family in 1899 and was also politically active in the emerging community. He became a member and 2nd chairman of the community college (2nd mayor), was at times a trade reporter and chaired the Pasing Liberal Association for several years. In 1901 the family moved into their own house with a studio on Apfelallee - later renamed Rembrandtstraße - in the western Pasing villa colony. Friendly relations existed with Wilhelm Marc, who was also based in Pasing . The marriage had three children: Fritz Carl (1891–1981), architect and, as a painter, his father's pupil; (2) Carola, called Lollo (* 1892) and Theodore (* 1895).

Baer was strongly influenced by Fritz Baer both thematically and in her painting style. Above all, she created pieces of forest and meadow in the moods of the daily routine and the color scheme characteristic of the seasons. She found her motifs in the closer and wider area of ​​Pasing, for example in the Dachauer Moos , near Garmisch-Partenkirchen or when the family stayed in Liechtenstein in 1900 and 1901 and in St. Anton am Arlberg in 1902 . A house "Beim Nagler" in Lähn in Tyrol , acquired in 1902, was given up in 1910 in favor of the purchase of a mill in Berwang .

From 1891 to 1899 she exhibited regularly in the Munich Glass Palace , also at the Munich Secession , in the Kunstverein and on the occasion of the exhibitions of the Artists' Association, including in 1903 in the exhibition of works by Munich artists in the Künstlerhaus on the occasion of the 3rd Bavarian Women's Day. After the death of her husband, who died of cancer in 1919, the Heinemann Gallery in Munich (1921) showed sixteen of his posthumous works as well as 58 of their works.

From 1890 to 1894 Carola Baer-Mathes was director of the landscape and still life class of the Munich Artists' Association and taught at the women's academy that emerged from this until the 1930s. Among other things, she was a member of the “Association of Pasinger and Obermenzinger Artists”.
