LARA MARGARET MARJERRISON is a queer, multidisciplinary artist with a vision of impacting the world around her through the transformative power of visual art and storytelling. She spends her days writing screenplays, poetry and prose, dabbling in photography, and playing with paint, bringing to life her inside stories.
Passionately motivated by social justice and on a never-ending quest of personal evolution, Lara is a freedom fighter on a mission to liberate the voiceless, beaten down, and bound. Lara views art as a bridge between people and a means of reaching beyond her own limitations. Through her writing, talks, poetry, and performance, she helps people tap into the unlimited power of words to heal from harm so they can show up as their whole selves, fully present and grounded in their power. Ultimately, all her work is about connection, because she knows: when we connect, we care, and when we care, we take better care...of ourselves, of others, and of the world around us.
Lara resides in Toronto with her son and her cat. When not at home creating, she’s most likely to be riding her bike or travelling the globe collecting experiences, fresh perspectives, and lots and lots of rocks.
