In 1995, she co/foundered the Cactus Bra Space, which today is the longest running alternative space for emerging artists in San Antonio. Lawrence’s own work addresses specific gender assumptions, concepts, values and/or practices that Americans share based on the information they assimilate as children. She creates clothing that redefines, recontextualizes, liberates or transforms outdated paradigms for modern protagonists. In other words, she makes clothing for the average individual who finds him/herself at a juncture in their life where evolution and change are possible. Lawrence has an extensive regional exhibition record and her work is in private collections throughout the United States.
