Aubrey Schwartz
ABOUT
Aubrey Schwartz is a Theatrical Designer, Multidisciplinary Artist, and Educator based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
A proud New Orleans native, Aubrey grew up immersed in a vibrant culture that celebrates creativity, costume, and performance. From a young age, she was drawn to the magic of theatre—making costumes and putting on shows came as naturally as walking. Her formal journey began at age seven, when she was accepted into the Talented Art Program in Theatre Performance. She continued to train and perform throughout high school, both in TAP productions and in local community theatre.
It was during her time at Louisiana State University that Aubrey discovered her passion for theatre was not only limited to performing, but also behind the scenes—in the world of theatrical design. Over the past two decades, she has built a diverse and dynamic career spanning costume and scenic design, puppetry, performance, and large-scale installations. Her work has appeared on stages and in immersive installations across Louisiana, Illinois, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado.
Aubrey is a proud member of several artistic communities, including the Krewe of Motha Roux art collective, the Women’s Caucus for the Arts, Meow Wolf, and the Santa Fe Shakespeare Society.
Every project Aubrey takes on is an exploration—of the process of art making, collaboration, and what it means to be human.Whether performing or designing masks, costumes, puppets, sets, or immersive installations, she brings a fearless curiosity and an interdisciplinary approach to her practice. A dedicated educator, she shares her love of the arts by teaching sculpting, puppet-building, and performance to both children and adults alike. If you're interested in collaborating on a theatre or film production, commissioning a custom mask, or hosting a workshop, reach out to Aubrey at aubreymschwartz@gmail.com.
