life in an unpredictable home life. For Deanna, art became more than just a creative outlet—it was a sanctuary, a way to escape into vibrant worlds far brighter than the one she knew. It was in those early years that she discovered art wasn’t just something she did—it was who she was. Now, as an adult, Deanna has nurtured that innate creativity into a refined and deeply personal painting practice. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, her work is instantly recognisable for its vivid colour palette, often inspired by florals and landscapes. My colours are my language of communication

ADNA acknowledges the lived and living experience of people with disability and their family members, carers and supporters.

We recognise the huge contribution people with lived and living experience make to ADNA's work, disability advocacy, and arts and culture in general.

ADNA uses ‘person-first language,’ emphasising the person, not the disability. As a disability-led organisation, we also embrace ‘identity-first’ language, acknowledging disability as identity.

ADNA acknowledges the many Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia. We honour their Elders past and present. We cherish the richness of First Nations peoples' artistic and cultural expressions.
