About The Artist
Although not classically trained, DeLoné used art throughout their life to help them cope with growing up in conservative Texas as an Afro-Indigenous, queer, & fem presenting person.
DeLoné’s art channels past, present and future into fire to create visually stunning & textured pieces through pyrography and other mediums.
Through their work, they channel the stories of pain, healing and joy of their ancestors and themselves, using that fire to capture something that intrigues the viewer.
Their work has become an embodiment of self & the divine and builds the connection to the not just the work, but to DeLoné, and the divine within themselves.
In 2026, DeLoné is focused on pushing the size, scale and scope of their work.
