Don Mabie (AKA Chuck Stake) was born in Calgary, Alberta Canada on January 9, 1947.

He graduated from the Alberta College of Art (Calgary) in Fine Art Painting in 1969; he did post graduate work at the Instituto Allende, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in 1970. He lived in Toronto from 1970 through 1974; during this time period he spent six months touring extensively in Europe. He returned to Calgary in 1974 and lived there until 2006 when he moved to Nakusp, British Columbia.

Mabie has been drawing, performing, assembling, trading and mailing art for more than four decades. He has had more than twenty-five solo exhibitions in Canada and Europe. He has participated in numerous group exhibitions and performance events across Canada, in the United States, Mexico, Europe and Japan.

In September, 2009 Mabie/Stake participated in a group exhibition entitled Poetische Positionen (Poetic Positions) at the Kasseler Kunstverein in Kassel, Germany in the Museum Fridericianum. In December, 2008 Mabie had a one-person exhibition at the OXYGEN ART CENTRE, Nelson, BC. In August, 2006 he had a one-person exhibition entitled ART and LIFE at the The Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar, BC. In January, 2007 he participated in HIT OR MISS: An Exhibition of Contemporary Drawing, a group exhibition at the Triangle Gallery of Visual Arts in Calgary.

As a member of the international performance collaborative The Nomads he performed at the arts festival documenta 8 in Kassel, Germany in 1987. As well he has performed in Zürich, Switzerland; at the INTER DADA Festival in San Francisco, USA; and on numerous occasions in Calgary at the Glenbow Museum, Illingworth Kerr Gallery, Nickle Arts Museum, Muttart Gallery (now Art Gallery of Calgary), Truck, Ten Foot Henry's, The Night Gallery and The New Gallery. He is credited with presenting the first performance work in Calgary in 1968.

Mabie has been an active participant in the international mail-art network since 1971 and has organized some 25 mail-art exhibitions as well as participating in hundreds of mail-art exhibitions and publications. He founded Chuck Stake Enterprizes in Toronto in 1972 and became Chuck Stake at that time. He has focused his attention on Artist Trading Cards since 1997 and has helped initiate a vital Artist's Trading Card network in Calgary, Canada and internationally. In 2002 Mabie took The First International Biennial of Artist Trading Cards to South Australia (SA) and toured SA in February 2003 and presented a series of ATC Lectures/Workshops.

His contributions to the Calgary community are varied: he was a co-founder of The Parachute Centre for Cultural Affairs, spent ten years operating The New Gallery (then, Clouds 'n' Water/OFF CENTRE CENTRE); he published Images and Information (sort of an art magazine); he has taught at the Department of Art at the University of Calgary and taught for 14 years as a Sessional Instructor at the Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD); he initiated a vital Artist's Trading Card network in Calgary and Canada. His exhibitions include a retrospective at Calgary's Illingworth Kerr Gallery in 1996, that exhibition was accompanied by an extensive catalogue that included two essays on his work.

In 2000 he was nominated for the Canada Council for the Arts Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts.

In May, 2001 Mabie was a recipient of the Alberta College of Art & Design Board of Governors' Award of Excellence for his lifetime contribution to the arts in Alberta.
