Born, raised, and educated in Central Asia (Ashgabat City, Turkmenistan, a former part of the
USSR), Larisa dates her passion for art from an early school age when she attended
drawing classes in after school programs. She developed a fusion of art styles growing up in
a multicultural environment.
Larisa graduated from the University of Textile Industry (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) in 1993 with
BA in Design & Art. There, she was part of a costume design committee for over 200
participants for the Independence Day of Uzbekistan in 1992. She was also one of the
designers and participants for numerous fashion shows of the University’s Fashion Theater.
Larisa came to the U.S.A. in 1995. She worked in the business world for several years before
deciding to go back to her true passion: art.
Larisa is an easel painter as well as muralist. Her art style is focusing on fantasy themes,
illustrative ideas, and fashion sketches in acrylics, ink pen, oil pastels, ink on wet, color
pencils, fabrics, faux finishes, and often a combination of the above for different effects. Many
of her pieces are representations of women - the feminine forms of emotions, moods, and
characters.
In this country (the U.S.A.), her work has appeared in the Spring Bull Gallery, Cadeaux du
Monde Gallery, and Deblois Gallery in Newport, RI, Warwick Museum of Art, as well as many
murals in private homes and commercial spaces. Currently Larisa’s art works are on display
and available for sale at Complements Art Gallery, Warwick RI.
