the ARTIST 

Delisha's art invites viewers to explore the beauty and vibrancy of a world beyond the harsh realities of life. Through her use of various mediums, including acrylic painting, photography, felting, embroidery, sculpture works, and ceramics, Delisha creates pieces that bridge the gap between fantasy and reality. The combination of these elements allows viewers to feel as if they can step into the artwork itself.

Through her storytelling, Delisha creates a world that is fun, beautiful, and vibrant, offering an escape from the bleakness of reality. Her work encourages viewers to tap into their own imaginations and embrace their emotions with openness and curiosity. By reminding us of the joy and innocence that can be found even in the face of adversity, Delisha's art invites us to reflect on our own experiences and find hope and beauty in the human experience.
