Larissa Bjurlin – Yakima Valley Artists Association

Artist Statement

I am a Self-Taught Artist and Photographer, blessed to be born and raised, living in the Pacific Northwest state of Washington. Originally from the Seattle area, I currently reside in Central Washington. I have 25+ years in art and am still very fresh to photography (only 12+ years) but still learning!

My arts are mainly, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor, and my art style is what comes to mind on what I will create, no particular style or medium. My father went to the Art Institute of Seattle and worked with clay and architectural design, and encouraged me dabble in the arts, which, I ended up falling in love with at a young age. My art and photography have been sold locally, Regionwide, Nationwide, and prints are available Worldwide. I also do Commissions from time to time, Photography Shoots and Wedding Photography and am beginning a new journey, stepping into Interior Design. Style, creation, and photography are definitely my passion, and as they say, “Your passion is your purpose”, I am grateful I am able to be living and fulfilling my “purpose”.
