Maxine Devitt

Maxine Devitt is a costume designer and illustrator currently living in New York City. Ever since she began drawing at the age of five, Maxine has been fascinated by the expressive powers of visual storytelling. She is incredibly grateful for her time at Purchase College, including the opportunity to design costumes for a new play, Purgatorio Wonderland.
