Open to the Public

Cohort 1’s planetary-artist Laura J. Lawson joins us for an in-depth conversation about her life, practice, and Best Practices! Best Practices is a lecture format that covers the artistic background of an artist, what drives their work, and 3 of their entrepreneurial efforts in the art world.

Laura has stated that she believes her best practices are her consistent studio schedule, continuous research, and applying for opportunities for getting her work seen. Come to Best Practices to learn what we believe her best practices are!

Laura J. Lawson is an interdisciplinary artist who connects the humanities to interstellar exploration using maps and environmental data to subvert traditional landscape art. She is a graduate of Austin College (BA) and The University of Memphis (MFA). She was awarded a residency at the Centre d’Art Marnay Art Center in Marnay-sur-Seine, France, and was selected for the first cohort of studio artists at the Cedars Union art incubator in Dallas. Her work has been shown in Vignette Art Fair, New Texas Talent XXVII, the Amarillo Museum of Art Biennial, and in international juried exhibitions. Her TEDx talk at Austin College stressed the importance of better standards for time and space to do creative work. Lawson worked with the Lunar and Planetary Institute to foster interdisciplinary collaboration at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference through a series of art and science workshops.
