Wesley's Story
Wesley DeVries was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy type IV in 1996. He worked in tool and die for many years, but as his muscle atrophy progressed he was no longer able to work. Wesley turned to painting, and is inspired by images from the world around him, including manufacturing, nature, and space.
Wesley’s paintings are frequently abstract and rich in texture and color. He enjoys painting large scale, but has turned to smaller canvasses due to the atrophy in his right shoulder and arm. Although right-handed, Wesley frequently paints with his left hand or uses his left hand to support his right hand.
