Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, DeeLashee has been a self-taught painter for five years. She began with traditional acrylic painting and just began her journey into the digital art world. She is an advocate for social justice, as she sits at the intersection of many identities: black, woman, queer and disabled. When she is not painting she is also currently in her final year of grad school for Counseling Psychology, learning, growing, and healing and each phase of her journey can be seen through her art.
