"As an illustrator, that's what I do, I illustrate stories. What better way than to illustrate those most important moments, and the courageous people in our past, in our history? What those people did to make this moment happen."

Meet Larissa
I believe in the power of a warm hug and the magic that happens when you mix blue and red paint to find the perfect purple. My journey has taken me from the animation desks for Nickelodeon to the galleries of Disney, all driven by my mission to share joy through art.
As a character designer for The Rugrats and Rocket Power, I learned that the difference between drawing mud and chocolate pudding is in the leaves (mud has them and pudding doesn't!)
I've illustrated a dozen books for iconic properties like Avatar: The Last Airbender, and co-created the Clyde the Hippo series.
My debut graphic novel, Blake Laser, invites readers into a 24th-century science fantasy where a bi-racial girl saves the planet with genius and grit.
