Biography

Milan DelVecchio is an interdisciplinary artist and educator based in Southern California whose practice centers artmaking as a contemplative, restorative, and relational act. Working across digital and traditional media, she approaches visual language as a site for reflection, transformation, and connection—between inner experience and shared cultural narratives.

Through extensive teaching with a diverse range of students - including k-12, college, and incarcerated scholars - alongside her own studio practice, Milan has developed a deeply process-driven approach to art as an accessible and rehabilitative practice. Her work creates space for slowing down, attuning to material and intuition, and engaging art as a means of emotional processing, meaning-making, and healing. She is particularly interested in how creative labor can foster resilience, agency, and growth within constrained or transitional environments.

DelVecchio holds a B.S. in Fashion Design from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning, and an MFA in Computer Art from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. She has over fifteen years of experience working across costume design, illustration, and motion graphics, moving fluidly between commercial and experimental contexts. Her work has been presented at Art Basel Miami, The Hammer, and in cities including New York, Los Angeles, and Venice, Italy.
