PAINTINGS

A tangle of blooms, a snippet of blue sky, a shard of strong sunlight or the brief relationship between a favourite mug and a collection of fresh garden pickings.

Botanical nature is the language in Lara's work. Used as a metaphor for the passing of time these  forms also serve to enable and investigation of personal experiences. 

 Lara plays with colour, composition, media and marks to spark a recall or sensation in the viewer. Joy, contemplation and melancholy are present in these paintings bringing to the viewer the comfort of memories.
