D E L 0 N A (also known as Delona Bean) is a multidisciplinary artist with a soft spot for big ideas, bold stories, and the kind of art that makes people feel something deep in their bones. Based in Hampton Roads, VA, she sings, writes, builds, riffs and rhymes — and does it all with heart. She is also the founder of The Scripted Body Massage & Wellness developed to aid performers and community in pain management, performance & recovery, and peace of mind.

Before stepping into the spotlight, she sharpened her skills (and a few power tools) in the U.S. Air Force, where she developed a strong foundation in carpentry that later helped bring theatrical worlds to life in shows like Arsenic and Old Lace, Dracula, and Little Shop of Horrors at Virginia Stage Company, 2024-2025 season. She was also known for her custom cake business, Baked Bean's (2019-2023), where she turned sugar into sculpture — proof that her creativity has always found a way to rise.

She’s performed in immersive productions with ROUGE: Theater Reinvented including Posses$ion, Rosie the Riveter, Pride & Prejudice & Dragons, Romeo and Juliet, and What Remains, often collaborating through song, storytelling, and soul. Traditional and Musical improv training at Push Comedy Theatre and her love of poetry allow her to follow the moment — and make magic out of it.

With each project, D E L 0 N A reclaims a piece of herself and lays it gently on the table, inviting others to do the same. This site is her gallery of becoming — part scrapbook, part altar, part open mic. If something here resonates, stay a while. That’s what it’s for.
