Artist (Painter),
Artist (Cartoonist / Illustrator)

Lloyd Rees began his career as an architectural draughtsman, and established his reputation as an artist with detailed pen and pencil drawings of around Sydney. An accomplished landscape painter for over five decades, failing eyesight led Lloyd Rees to create semi-abstract impressions from memory towards the end of his career. Rees is represented in most of the major national and state gallery collections.
