Sally Deans

Sally is a South Australian artist whose early years were spent in and around the Adelaide
Hills. She now creates her work on the Fleurieu Peninsula, where she has lived since
2010, after returning from several years living in the Northern Territory and Queensland.

Sally is inspired by the natural beauty of this area and paints atmospheric sea, sky and
landscapes that are uniquely characteristic of the region. Constantly drawing on the
transitory effects of weather, light and seasonal changes, her images are soft, calming
and engender a sense of peace.

Sally has exhibited widely in South Australia and interstate since the early 2000s in both
group and solo exhibitions, and has been the recipient of several art awards, the most
recent being the 2022 ‘Clarice Beckett Art Award’ in Casterton, Victoria. She has also been a
finalist in the Fleurieu Biennale.
