Delphine Barney

Delphine is a Glastonbury-based artist known for her distinctive and expressive style, capturing the essence of beloved landscapes in and around Glastonbury. Her vibrant paintings, created with thick, dynamic brushstrokes and a striking colour palette, bring familiar locations to life with energy and emotion. Working in both oils and acrylics, she often develops two versions of a scene simultaneously, drawn by the unique qualities of each medium.

Inspired by her walks, Delphine works from sketches and photographs, translating her experiences into bold and atmospheric compositions. Rather than striving for precise realism, she focuses on evoking the mood, movement, and sensory impressions of a place, its colours, light, and the emotions it stirs. Through her work, she invites viewers to connect with the landscape on a deeper level, experiencing not just its visual beauty but the feelings it inspires.
