Dion Beasley

Dion Beasley is well known across the Territory as the artist behind the much-loved T-shirt brand, Cheeky Dogs. Dion's formal art career started in 2006 when the first Cheeky Dogs T- shirt line was launched. Since then, his reputation as an accomplished visual artist has grown from strength to strength. Dion's talents are particularly remarkable given he has muscular dystrophy and is profoundly deaf. In 2019 he received the Australia Council National Arts and Disability Award for an Emerging Artist. A former resident of Tennant Creek, NT, he now lives on the Sunshine Coast.
