About the Artist

Cedric Varcoe is a contemporary artist, painting the creation stories of his Ngarrindjeri lands and waters, from the lower River Murray and the Lower Lakes to the Coorong, the South Coast to Kangaroo Island.

He started painting at the age of eight, watching his sisters and mother, aunties and uncles. Fascinated by paint, he mainly painted lizards and snakes, and developed highly stylized corroboree men.

In 2015 an Arts SA ATSI development grant supported him to research and learn new techniques working with a range of colours. He also has worked extensively across community arts projects in regional South Australia.

Cedric Varcoe has teamed up with Better World Arts, which has supported him to display his works in galleries across Australia and to sell his work globally. Together, they also developed a series of innovative point of sale artifacts, ranging from printed ceramics to handbags, featuring his unique designs. As a result, he is able to support his work and his family as a proud, contemporary Ngarrindjeri artist.

Cedric Varcoe’s work is held in private and public collections across Australia and overseas. In 2010 and 2014 he won the Port Augusta ‘Malka Art Prize’.
