Larry Hersberger

Internationally acclaimed contemporary artist whose work has been experienced by audiences in more than 50 countries — through private collections, public installations, exhibitions, international publications, and licensed products distributed across global markets. Over the course of his career, he has lectured in five countries and created for clients on six continents. Born in the wide-open prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada, Hersberger developed an early fascination with imagination, storytelling, and the transformative qualities of light. Surrounded by vast landscapes and expansive skies, he discovered that art could become a language capable of expressing wonder, mystery, and the deeper narratives of human experience. That conviction has shaped everything he has made since.

"My goal is to create artwork that begs your gaze. If done well, it will make you search, study, and take it in. I want the viewer to feel and live the artwork. My work takes me to a place of creation, not duplication. I love that edge — it is the unknown, and where new things are waiting to be discovered."

Larry is the father of three daughters — Layla, Juliette, and Anna Rose — who are, in his own words, his world. When Anna Rose was born with Down syndrome, Larry and Ela founded Don't Fear Me Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to Down syndrome awareness. It is the same conviction that runs through all of his work: that every life carries dignity, that every story deserves to be seen, and that love — made visible — changes everything.
