Delaney Thomas
Delaney Marie Thomas is originally from Arizona who moved to Kentucky in 2022. She is a 2020 graduate of the University of Arizona with a BFA in Art and Visual Culture Education with an emphasis in Museum Studies. She is also a Master’s graduate from Arizona State University for Nonprofit Leadership and Management. Delaney’s family is originally from Ohio, her grandmother moved to Arizona in 1947 with her parents, Leo and Laura Whitman, and 10 siblings in a converted school bus. Delaney feels more at home in Kentucky being closer to Appalachian roots. Delaney has worked in museum education for eight years and is also an artist primarily working in watercolor. She is inspired by children’s storybooks and many fairy tales. Having taught both children and adults the joys of creating art, Delaney uses her teaching experience to share her whimsical nature in her work. She is a previous manager of The Children's Museum of Tucson and the Visitor Services Team at the Tucson Museum of Art. She has also organized and hosted multiple art showcases to help various philanthropic causes. Delaney's passion for art, education, and charity is a driving factor for much of her work. She is so excited to be a part of the KHS Team!
