"Painting the landscape is more about what you do not say than what you do say. Using bold brush strokes and textural paint, I interpret in an impressionistic manner what nature provides. Working from nature is both exciting and challenging, but ultimately there is a dichotomy between painting and creating a work of art that hopefully collectors respond to. I strive to create a feeling of time and place in each painting."
Larsen paints from Maine to California and she has been in over 90 gallery and museum exhibitions. Among the many awards Larsen has received are Dickenson Signature Member Award, American Impressionist Society; Best Landscape, American Women Artists National Competition; Two Awards of Excellence, Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional; Master Signature Silver Medal, American Women Artists National Competition and an Award of Excellence given by Quang Ho at the Paso Robles, California Invitational.
