Victor Ronan is the local feature artist for ‘50 years of Deadly’, our 2026 NAIDOC Week Exhibition. Come to see him speak about this collection of beautiful paintings on Saturday 11 July.

Victor started painting at VPCA’s Create Connect art workshops in 2021 before concentrating on developing his skills through more individually focused studies, where Victor connected with the stories from his family. Victor’s technical approach references the work of local Noongar artists, trained in Western styles of drawing and painting from the Carrolup School in the early part of the 20th century. Victor’s story echoes this year’s NAIDOC theme of determination and resilience, studying and honouring his culture; continuing to develop a personal artistic voice.
