Delaine Le Bas has shown her art extensively both in the UK and internationally, including at the International Festival of Singular Art, Roquevaire, France; the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, U.S.; Transition Gallery and the 2005 and 2007 Prague Biennales.

Le Bas has long been associated with Outsider Art. Outsider Art is a term used to refer collectively to self-taught, mentally ill or otherwise unconventional artists working outside the confines of the art establishment. The genre is also known by the name "Art Brut", a term coined by the French artist Jean Dubuffet circa 1945 to refer to works he collected that were "raw" or "ugly".
