My Blue Planet - by Larisa Alexander

Larisa Alexander began her artistic journey later in life, embracing painting without formal training and guided instead by intuition, imagination, and a deep affinity for the natural world. As a self-taught artist, her work reflects a personal and expressive engagement with landscape, shaped by both memory and emotion.

She is delighted to present her latest collection, My Blue Planet, a body of work that celebrates the beauty, serenity, and fragility of our environment. Through imagined landscapes, Larisa conveys not only the visual poetry of nature but also a quiet reverence for its preservation. Her paintings suggest worlds that are both familiar and dreamlike, inviting viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between humanity and the earth, and the importance of caring for the environment that sustains us.

Through her paintings, Larisa seeks to evoke a sense of calm and quiet joy, considering a piece successful when it resonates emotionally and offers the viewer a moment of peace.

A long-time resident of HIP Housing Edgewater Isle, where she has lived for over eight years, Larisa finds inspiration not only in nature but also in the warmth of her community. As she shares, “I love my senior neighbors,” a sentiment that reflects the same spirit of connection and appreciation present in her art.
