Marisa Pfautz
(mahr-EES-uh FOW-tz) Pronouns: she/hers/ella
"The ways in which we experience the natural world, the humans who exist in it, and the resulting relationships are what drive my work."
Marisa is a Mexican-American visual artist, communication designer and community facilitator. With a background in illustration & design, combined with her specialized training in anti-oppression work, Marisa brings a liberatory lens to the professional, personal and artistic environments she is part of. She is active in her community and currently serves on the Leadership Council of her hometown anti-racism outreach initiative (BCDI), on the DEI Inclusion Council at a local conservation organization (TCF), and on the Communications Committee at a non-profit for the arts in the city of Chicago (Changing Worlds). With a commitment to centering the experience of historically under-represented or vulnerable populations, Marisa understands that the relationship between the well-being of the people and that of the planet is one of reciprocity. She seeks to uplift the stories of that relationship through a variety of interesting visual tools and communication mediums.
