Larsen received their BFA with an emphasis in Photography from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in May 2019. Later that same year, they earned first place in the 2019 Getty Images Creative Bursary Award, first prize in thAmsterdam Pride Photo Award, and was named a 2019 Emerging Fellow by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation MarL. Nohl Fellowship. Exhibited throughout Milwaukee, their work has also been shown in Brooklyn, New Orleans, PrattMWP’s campus gallery, and with The Reclaim Kollektiv in Cologne, Germany. Larsen’s work has been written about in publications such as Urban Milwaukee, Photo Emphasis, and Humble Arts Foundation. In 2021, their work was included in the publication Witness, curated by Efrem Zelony-Mindell, which has since been acquired by the MOMA Library of New York. They are the founder and curator of That Way, an online platform and printed zine started in 2018, highlighting the work of LGBTQ+ artists from around the globe. Most recently in July 2021, Larsen organized and co-curated Queering the Cream City, an exhibition taking place on 12 Milwaukee billboards replacing advertising with LGBTQ art for one month. They love butterflies, the color pink, and making new friends!
