‘My work explores themes of memory, distance and connection through the language of landscape.’
Hello and welcome.
I'm Lara Tees, a Melbourne based artist, and I create expressive landscapes featuring expansive skies and distant horizons.
My work has been described as atmospheric, emotional and evocative, and my paintings have been featured in exhibitions and galleries across Australia. I have also been a finalist in several art prizes.
I love the Australian landscape and I take much of my inspiration from the colours and textures of this amazing country I'm fortunate to call home.
My work captures the experience of being in a place and the feelings that it evokes. I hope my work transports you to those places, so I can share them with you.

Williamstown Town Hall
Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Inner West Art Fair last weekend. It was a busy weekend celebrating art, creativity, and connection, and I loved being part of it again.
If you visited the fair and spotted a painting you loved, but weren't quite ready to take it home, there are still some beautiful pieces available. My shop has been updated and you can browse the full collection of available work here.
And if you'd like to see a painting in person to help you decide, I offer studio visits by appointment. Please email me to arrange a visit - info@laratees.com
Expansive Connections
2-29 October 2026
This October, nine artist friends are coming together for Expansive Connections, a group exhibition at Oakhill Gallery in Mornington.
We come from different parts of Melbourne, work in different styles and mediums, and are all at different points in our creative journeys. But we share a love of making art, looking at art, talking about art, and supporting one another along the way.
The exhibition celebrates the friendships, conversations, encouragement and inspiration that have grown through our shared creative lives. With nine artists, you will experience a mix of styles, ideas, and materials, each reflecting our own individual way of seeing and creating.
I feel very fortunate to be exhibiting alongside this wonderful group of artist friends and would love you to come and enjoy what we’ve created.
Oakhill Gallery, 100 Mornington-Tyabb Road, Mornington
Gallery hours 10am-4pm, Monday to Sunday
