Dani Wilson

As an award -winning abstract artist and designer based in Baltimore, Maryland, my journey has been one of transformation and healing. Diagnosed with PTSD at the tender age of twelve after witnessing the tragic loss of my father, I faced a tumultuous battle with addiction that lasted over two decades. However, through the power of creativity and therapeutic expression, I found a way to reclaim my narrative. My artwork is a vibrant reflection of this journey, each piece bursting with color, energy, and an uplifting spirit that echoes the joy of resilience. I strive to create art that not only captivates the eye, but also ignites the soul, inviting viewers to experience the beauty of overcoming adversity. In my Baltimore studio, I pour my heart into each brushstroke and design, aiming to inspire others to find their own path towards healing and self-discovery. Through art, I have not only reconstructed my own life but also hope to foster a sense of hope and connection in those who encounter my work.

The Unlikely Artist: Dani Wilson's Journey to Vibrant Expression


As my abstract art gains recognition, I want to share my unconventional story. I'm Dani Wilson, a 55-year-old self-taught artist, from Baltimore, Maryland, and l've never set foot in art school. Despite struggling with depression and PTSD since age 12, l've found solace in painting.

My journey began 7 years ago, when I achieved sobriety and rediscovered my passion for art, thanks to my daughter Madison's encouragement. Since then, l've been painting nonstop, channeling my emotions into bright, bold, and vibrant abstract pieces.

I'm proud to have overcome obstacles and found success through determination and hard work. My art is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of creative expression.
Follow my journey and explore my art, inspired by the unexpected path I’ve taken.
