Symonne Larison - Jones

Symonne Larison–Jones is a visual artist born in Portland, United States of America, and currently resides in Seattle. 

As a portrait artist, Larison specializes in acrylic on canvas, with a focus on large canvas monochromatic portraits. She is best known for her striking use of vibrant colors and her ability to paint strong, high-contrast portraits of compelling subjects.

Larison-Jones’s work is deeply rooted in the exploration of identity and representation. Her subject matter revolves around amplifying the diverse beauty of black and brown individuals, aiming to create a sense of belonging and representation within her art for younger generations to inspire.

Her passion expands beyond the canvas to a healing art studio and event space called A Space Inside; located in the heart of Seattle, Washington. 

She chose entrepreneurship because as an artist she has seen and felt the impact art has created in her life. Expression and creativity are necessary to live a full enriched life.

She always wants to show her kids that creativity doesn’t stop at being a hobby but a part of life and a career.
