Delia Cardnell

Delia Cardnell RI (born in Islington, London) is a British painter. She was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (2000) and voted to serve on the council (2001-2005) and (2010-). She frequently demonstrates painting techniques and writes articles for magazines.

Cardnell paints in watercolours and oils; rich textured abstract and semi-abstract landscapes, portraits and detailed still life. She mainly paints wild flowers and exotic foreign plants, incorporating paintings within her paintings, views through windows and a variety of furniture. Details often relate or are deliberately repeated within her paintings.

Her watercolour, 'Snowdrops' was used as a Christmas card supporting the Artists' General Benevolent Institution, the Royal Academy of Arts, Burlington House.

In 2009, two of her paintings, 'Late Winter' and 'Honesty' were used for cards in support of the charity Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). Please see the external MSF link below to view MSF cards. Please note that Delia's cards for 2010, 'Hellebore' and 'Mid February' have already sold out.

Olivia Cardnell, Delia's younger sister, is an abstract and semi-abstract painter.
