About

Hi! Thanks for stopping by.

Larissa is a queer artisan, writer, and exploration enthusiast living, listening, and learning on the traditional unceded traditional territories of the Quw’utsun peoples. Post-graduation from her undergrad at UVic with a Double BA in Sociology and Creative Writing, she took a hiatus from art and pursued a career in the human services field. After a few years working and a stint in Germany playing field hockey, she couldn’t deny a looming absence. She returned to art and completed her MFA in Creative Writing from UBC as well as a woodworking residency through Makerlabs in Vancouver. Larissa’s visual and literary content produced out of her studio, Craft Cove, have been displayed by the Craft Council of BC, the East Side Arts Society, Passion Passport, the Pacific Brant Carving, Woodworking & Art show, and more. In 2023, she also co-founded Canada’s first queer audio-literary magazine Eavesdrop. When she isn’t developing her crafts, you can find her working on the Engagement Team at the Cowichan Women Against Violence Society, singing out-of-tune to her tomato plants, having a snack with her wife, or teaching art classes at the Cowichan Community Workshop. You can find more information about her artistic journey in all the neat little tabs.
