I grew up in the Blue Ridge mountains of Western North Carolina. In 2014 I moved to the piedmont and studied biology, education, and creative writing at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduating in 2018, I stayed in the area and taught science for three years at Northwood High School. I currently teach high school art at the Carolina Friends School. I love to learn about ecology and communicate what I learn in story and art. My hope is to nurture community and healing through cultivating wonder for all the connections that surround and sustain us. Do you have a collaborative idea? Have you stumbled upon a strange and delightful phenomenon you want others to know about? Please reach out— I love to hear people's ideas and help them become a reality. If you are interested in working with me, just email me via the "contact" page on this website. I have experience in: -Illustrating children's books, short stories, and poetry -Working with musicians to create art for music videos -Crafting interactive courses, summer camps, and art experiences https://www.larissalynnwood.com/work daily 1.0 2024-01-27 https://www.larissalynnwood.com/work/fungusamongus monthly 0.5 2022-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f28534027a86763d7ac46/4b6dba72-6310-46c7-ab5f-c489e9a13bd8/Screen+Shot+2022-04-19+at+8.10.57+PM.png Work - There's Wondrous Fungus Among Us!- Children's Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f28534027a86763d7ac46/dc0befae-2584-49b5-8b3b-0e26202f8915/IMG_2090.jpg Work - There's Wondrous Fungus Among Us!- Children's Book https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f28534027a86763d7ac46/82cf2a71-fc2e-4d0f-acd6-242ea9e0d6a8/IMG_2092.jpg Work - There's Wondrous Fungus Among Us!- Children's Book https://www.larissalynnwood.com/work/video monthly 0.5 2022-04-20 https://www.larissalynnwood.com/work/metamorphosis monthly 0.5 2022-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/625f28534027a86763d7ac46/1664372254882-O3NVAYSWS05COJ8Z754A/IMG_6177.jpg Work - Metamorphosis - A.I.R.
