About Us
Larissa is the founder and visionary behind Palette, both pop-up art classes and the studio. Larissa loves people and art and believes there is an artist in all of us. Her vision behind Palette is one of community. Through Palette she seeks to build a creative outlet for the community and present art in a more approachable and fun way. Larissa is very active in the Anchorage art community, both with competitions, art festivals and First Fridays. She works with a few galleries and Hawaiian shirt companies in Hawaii as well. She studied art at St. Mary's College of California with her first job out of college being an art teacher at a children's art studio in San Francisco. Her dream has always been to open an art studio.
Her favorite artists are Georgia O'Keefe and Katsushika Hokusai and is inspired by natural texture and color. She enjoys all art mediums but is currently working in acrylics. You can find Larissa working on a new art project, enjoying a good glass of Oregon Pinot Noir or going on adventures with her husband, Rayn.
