Daphne Hanbury, from the picturesque southern delta of the USA, brings her rich background in Fine Art and Art History to the forefront. Educated in Virginia, Daphne's journey has taken her across continents, from the ateliers of Florence to the scenic landscapes of England. As a seasoned oil painter, Daphne's artwork is a testament to her passion for capturing the essence of landscapes, portraits, and still life. With studios nestled in Croatia and West Sussex, she draws inspiration from the diverse landscapes surrounding her.
Joining her in this artistic endeavour is her daughter, Clementine Hanbury, a contemporary realist painter and draftswoman based in London. Clementine's creative journey has been shaped by her extensive training in Florence and London, culminating in a style that seamlessly blends intimacy and depth. Her portraits, scenes, landscapes, and still lifes testify to her dedication to capturing life under natural light conditions, resulting in nuanced renderings that resonate with viewers profoundly.
Clementine's work has garnered international acclaim, with pieces in private collections spanning the globe, from the United States to Hong Kong, Italy to the United Kingdom. Her presence in prestigious group shows such as the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and Arcadia Contemporary in New York speaks to her stature in the contemporary art world. Notably, she recently exhibited alongside Picasso, Warhol, and Cocteau in Paris, cementing her place firmly as a contemporary star.
