Carrie Larson (she/her), a visual artist living in Hoquiam, Washington, studied at Whitman College under Keiko Hara. There she was introduced to Book Arts, which became the springboard for all permutations of her art-making. While much of her work takes inspiration from the natural world, her artist’s books often explore an internal, emotional landscape as well. Their tactile, intimate qualities enhance a connection with the viewer/reader and concept drives form. Carrie’s work has been exhibited nationally, published in Lark Crafts 500 Handmade Books, Volume 2 and is held in various university libraries, as well as the artist book collection of Cynthia Sears at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. During stints as artist-in-residence at Holden Village and Sitka Center for Art & Ecology, Carrie taught workshops to individuals new to the bookmaking experience; her aim is to foster an environment of supportive encouragement and provide solid building blocks that students can use as foundations for their own creative explorations.
