She also studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Universität für angewandte Kunst), where she was a student of Brigitte Kowanz. Between 2016 and 2019, she was a Meisterschüler (a type of advanced studio/postgraduate mentorship) with Monika Brandmeier.
She works primarily with sculpture and installation. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has received several awards, including the Austrian State Scholarship and the Erste Bank Extra-Value Art Prize.
Marit Wolters's pieces speak of presence: ephemeral constructions in constant dialogue with the place they occupy. Pieces that explore and recognize the potential of the material, where abstraction finds other ways of expressing itself without losing the thread of the material's history and aesthetic potential. His works offer the possibility of establishing a dialogue that questions the identity of both the place and the viewer.
