Marisa Lawrence (Costume Technology) (She/Her) is an interdisciplinary artist currently studying for her MFA in Costume Technology at the University of Texas at Austin. Originally from Houston, TX, Marisa grew up sewing and developing a love for craftwork at an early age. She has always had a hunger to challenge herself creatively and explore multi-media art forms including traditional art, theatre, photography, and interactive art. After graduating from NYU with a degree in Game Design in 2017, she went on to freelance, work on personal art projects, and most notably hold stitching positions at the Santa Fe Opera, the Alley Theatre, and the Chicago Opera Theatre. She is currently gathering research on the intersection between her two fields of study, and integrative Costume Technology applications beyond the stage and screen. She will defend her thesis in the Spring of 2025, and then go where the wind takes her!
