Life offers countless opportunities, but only by embracing the unknown can we truly understand the dreams waiting for us. Larissa Ann’s winged horse emblem, prominently featured in this collection, symbolizes the leap of faith that launched her art career and led her to leave the military to pursue lifelong creative and equestrian passions. Her story is a testament to the power of following your heart and the courage it takes to embark on a new path.
In 2020, Larissa’s journey took a defining turn when she was commissioned to create Sergeant Reckless, a life-sized horse statue honoring Gold Star families and the military community near Southern Pines, NC. This patriotic sculpture, deeply inspired by her own military service, has since raised over $40,000 for non-profits, reinforcing Larissa’s dedication to giving back and her belief in “paying it forward” for the causes that matter most.
From enlisting in the U.S. Army as a young woman to her deployments overseas, to this latest leap into civilian life, Larissa’s art journey is a reminder that life’s path leads us where we’re meant to be when we follow our hearts.
