Lara Smith

Lara is a predominantly self taught artist, based in Cardiff, Wales. Working mainly in oil with a palette knife, her artwork features bold, expressive strokes which aim to capture the atmosphere of her subject.

​

Lara takes a lot of her inspiration for her work from the Welsh and Cornish landscapes.

Lara’s work has been displayed at numerous galleries across the UK including the Mall Galleries in London, the Turner Contemporary in Kent and most recently the Albany Gallery in Cardiff.

​

Her portfolio includes both studio and “en plein air” works.

“I love painting out in the open – it lets you completely immerse yourself  into your surroundings and capture the atmosphere in the painting” - Lara Smith
