Gloria was born circa 1945, her country is Aknangkere and her language is Anmatyerre.

Gloria is a well established and well known artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited around Australia and all over the world. This artist is extensively documented with Gloria’s work featured on the cover of Michael Bolton’s ‘The Art Of Utopia” and in 1999, Gloria won the coveted Wynne prize.

Gloria’s dreamings include “Mountain Devil”, ‘Aknangkere Growth” and the well known and sought after ‘Bush Medicine”. Gloria mainly uses a combination of lines to depict her art, but at the same time can produce a dazzling display of intricate dot work – such is the versatility of this artist.

As with Barbara Weir and the late Minnie Pwerle, Gloria continues to dominate the art scene and DACOU highly recommends the work of this high profile artist.
