Delismé's career began in 1986, when she was taught sewing and beading techniques by her cousin, named either Myrlande Constant or Yolande Ceauston.
Delismé continued to master her needlework skills by creating more drapo, finding design inspiration from her dreams and vodou symbols given to her by her father.
Much of Delismé's beadwork incorporates designs that represent traditional Vodou deities and are used to explain divinity and give clarity to life's expressions and meanings.
Although her home and workshop in the capital were safe, 18 miles away, Delisme stated, “I felt I had to express the disaster in Haiti in my artwork.
