Born into a highly creative family, Larissa was exposed to art from early childhood. Though largely self taught, she has attended workshops with some of Australia's award winning artists.

She is an avid traveller, and finds much inspiration from her travels and photography. Also a love and life long study of alternative healing influences her art practice. She is a sought after teacher and gifted colourist. Her work is represented in a number of galleries within Australia, and features in private collections around the globe. She is currently based in Sydney.
