Larissa Holt Artist Biography and Art Gallery Collection

Collection: Larissa Holt Artist Biography and Art Gallery Collection

Larissa Holt, is an American artist who's artwork has been defined as "Rockwell Kent meets the Floating World". In the Spring of 1986 Holt and her husband decided to relocate to Monterey, California. Upon her arrival she immediately began establishing herself as an illustrator and graphic designer.  Larissa Holt illustrated for Monterey Life Magazine, Coast Weekly and several smaller publications.  After only two years, in 1988, she was hired by Eyvind Earle (1916-2000), a noted Disney artist, as an assistant serigrapher and chromist for his Monterey studio. She and Earle had a relationship that transcended the traditional employer and employee relationship. He took the time to mentor her and teach her the methods he learned as a Disney artist and painter. While there she had the opportunity to learn all facets of fine art serigraphy from Mr. Earle. In 1989 Larissa Holt left Earle's Studio to concentrate her energies on her own art.

Larissa Holt uses bold colors and breathtaking scenery to create images of Nature in her own unique style. In 1989, Larissa and her husband began their association with Chris Lewis Fine Art.  She also worked with Neal Doty in the production of his fine art serigraphs. Soon thereafter, Holt began creating and producing her own fine art serigraphs in the CLFA studio. Her first serigraph, "Island Cypress," was released in October of 1990 and was featured in many prominent national galleries - Chabot Galleries, Coast Galleries, Austin Galleries, NY Art Expo, and many more venues throughout the country. In 1992, Larissa created, with her husband, Coast Serigraphics for Coast Galleries where they created serigraphs for the Henry Miller Centennial Collection. After the serigraph collection was completed in 1992, she and her husband created their own publishing company, Holt Creative Arts, to publish and market her art.

Larissa Holt also traveled and began to focus more on her own art, developing the bold contrast style she is known for today. Through the years, Holt has proven her skills as a talented print maker and artist. Her work has been collected extensively by both private and corporate art connoisseurs, and she has won several first place and people's choice awards in both silkscreen and oil mediums. She has also had numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout the US, most notably in Seattle, Centralia, Portland, Florence, Eugene, New York, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Denver.
