BIOGRAPHY
Lara Robinson is a classically trained contemporary artist based between London, Wiltshire and Cornwall. Having grown up amongst the beaches of Cornwall and the rolling hills of the countryside, Lara’s training in Florence and Barcelona means her style crosses classical training with a more individual impressionism, and imbues her work with a real sense of vibrancy and life.
Having put on three stellar solo shows in London, exhibited in joint exhibitions at various UK’s leading galleries such as the Mall Galleries, collaborating and exhibiting work with Boodles for the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2023, Lara is back with an exciting new collection to celebrate the Curtis Cup 2024.
CURTIS CUP
Lara was commissioned by The R&A, the world golf governing body, to produce an oil painting for Sunningdale Golf Club to celebrate it staging the 43rd Curtis Cup match from 30 August to 1 September 2024. The renowned Berkshire venue hosted the biennial contest for leading female amateur golfers from Great Britain and Ireland and the United States of America. The painting is the official artwork of the prestigious match, featuring the 18th hole, the flags of the competing teams and the iconic Clubhouse at Sunningdale.
Lara has also created a stunning collection of paintings that encapsulates the beauty of Sunningdale Golf Club. From favourite viewpoints to beloved greens, this collection offers a glimpse into why Sunningdale is so cherished.
Quote from Lara - “I feel very honoured to have been chosen as the official artist for this year’s Curtis Cup. The commission has been such an exciting project given that I love golf myself. In this collection, I’ve tried to capture small parts of Sunningdale’s charm. Days at Sunningdale have a special ineffable quality, and I hope that people feel that in these works I have painted.”
