Larissa was born in Kenya in 1981 and spent the majority of her childhood in the capital, Nairobi. After a year spent travelling, Larissa went to study Fine Art at the University of Gloucestershire in the UK, from 2000-2004.

Larissa started exhibiting in group shows in Bristol. Her first solo exhibition, ‘By Road’ was held in Nairobi in 2007. This exhibition led to several invitations for group exhibitions, including ‘Africa Now!’ arranged by the World Bank and held in Washington Dc and most recently ‘Africaines’, showcasing work of contemporary African women artists and coming under the umbrella of the Pan African Cultural Festival held in Algiers.
