I’m a Spanish artist and art teacher living with my husband and two children in Montreal, Canada, by the Saint Lawrence River.

Ever since I can remember I’ve been drawn to art. I took painting, dance and theater classes as a child and grew up watching my mother painting. My parents, as well as my husband, have always encouraged me to lead a life that fulfills my heart and that encouragement has brought me to where I am right now - a place and moment in life I love and cherish with all my heart -.

Art, family and nature fill my soul and teaching art as a way of living gives a special meaning to my work. I studied Fine Arts and Education at Universidad Complutense de Madrid and International University of Valencia. Ever since I graduated I’ve been mothering and taking care of my home and family most of the time, while teaching weekly art classes to adults and working (very slowly) on different personal artistic projects through painting, illustration and photography. 

I find inspiration in my everyday life, motherhood, family and friends, flowers, art, books, poetry and the nature that surrounds me. I am constantly looking for the beauty in the small details - in light and color, in human emotions, and in the ever-changing seasons.

This site is an online home for my art, a place to play and explore, as well as where I occasionally sell some of my work. 

Contact me through the form if you would like to work together or have any other questions. 

Slowly brewing.

When you want the essence you need time.

When you hope for flowers the seeds teach you patience.

Lara is a long time observer. Her head is nest for beauty, a burrow of wonder.

Her hands are creators of colors, textures, soft caresses and stories.

It takes time, I've told you so, but while you wait, she will make you feel at home.
