I have been a school psychologist since the early 1990s and currently work full-time in North Carolina. I do not do any painting, video recording or editing, social media, or website maintenance at all during work hours, nor do I promote my art at work.
In early 2019, I got pneumonia and realized I really needed to find a fun way to relieve stress and stop bringing so much work home. I began learning and enjoying oil painting and later started painting with acrylics, too.
As a school psychologist, I work in the space between data and story. As a painter, I bring those stories to canvas.
By the way, my real name is Donna, but “Delcy” was a nickname I came up with as a child made up from my initials at the time – D.L.C. – squashed together to make “Delcy.”
I often add the figure of a cat to my signature because I love cats and personally experience a feeling of relaxation when I have one around.
