Creation Within Art features the artwork of Dean Wilson, a South Australian artist living in Adelaide with over 28 years’ experience in creating art. Dean's paintings are bright and colourful and are inspired by his life and travels around Australia. Unique and vivid landscapes are captured beautifully, as are the cheeky personalities of the native animals inhabiting these environments, which are the hallmark of Dean’s art.
In 2016, Dean was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which has caused a variety of chronic and often debilitating symptoms including uncontrollable tremors in his hands and reliance on using a wheelchair. Dean has adapted his skills into new mediums and has not let the symptoms of FND dampen his creative spirit or his love for creating art. These days he puts his energy into painting and over recent years has established himself as an emerging and prominent artist living with disability. Much of his fun and colourful artworks are now displayed in cafes, pubs and offices around Adelaide.
When Dean isn’t painting, you’ll find him zooming around in a modified wheelchair scooter, which has given him the freedom to access his local community.
