Jandamurra Cadd

Jandamarra Cadd is a Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent; he is an inspirational man with many stories to tell. With his vibrant and expressive portraitures, Jandamarra’s artwork is emotive and insightful ... it is a powerful medium to bridge the story telling divide between Aboriginal and mainstream Australia. 

Painting has been a way of life that has enabled Jandamurra to express his creativity and story telling and in many of his paintings of the human condition, he seeks to be a peaceful voice for unity. Have a look at Jandamarra's artwork.
