Gloria lives on a small outstation with her
extended family group. These people still maintain a
strong link with their land, traditional values and
ceremony. An Anmatyerre speaker, her Dreamings are:
Mountain Devil Lizard, Wild Bean, Grass Seed, Small Brown
Grass, Wildflowers. She shares these Dreamings with her
four sisters, Ada Bird, Violet, Myrtle and Kathleen.
Gloria's first recognition was with her Batik works
from 1977, but later was introduced to Canvas and Acrylic
paint where she has developed and experimented with line
and colour, creating distinctive works.
