a

Is a visual artist and environmental designer with thirty years of practice. She graduated from Art Center College of Design and has worked across fine art, environmental design, and neurosomatic practice ever since. She lives and works at One Feather Ranch, 487 acres of forest and meadow in Redwood Valley, Northern California. The land is not incidental to the work. It is the work.

Her current body of work, the Relics series, is a collection of large-scale devotional objects rooted in Gnostic and sacred feminine mythology. The pieces are made from materials harvested directly from the ranch, burned wood, botanicals, minerals, fungi, resin, gold leaf, and cast and carved plaster. Some stand over five feet tall. Each one arrived with its own name, its own materials, its own requirements. They were not planned so much as received.

Dellacorva describes herself as a wrist. Something arrives first, an image, a feeling, a figure that will not leave. Her job is to find a way to bring it into the physical world. She approaches the goddesses and archetypes in her work not as a devotee but as a witness. Present. Receptive. Trying to get out of the way.

Her spiritual practice is Buddhist and Taoist. Her intellectual framework draws on Gnostic philosophy, sacred feminine history, and the neurosomatic understanding that the body perceives before the mind explains. She is co-author of the Neurosomatic Design Workbook, published in 2025, with photography by Valerie Sinclair.

In 2026, she established the One Feather Ranch Sacred Arts Foundation, a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to build a permanent sacred arts gallery, retreat, and community event space on the ranch. The long-term vision is a meditation gallery housing the Gnostic trilogy as its permanent installation, situated between a Buddhist monastery and a Greek Orthodox monastery on land that has been in active stewardship for decades.

She has been making art for thirty years, and The Relics series is where that practice finally came fully into the open.
