  • About the Artists

    Our vibrant and dynamic artists are from the Utopia region; a large remote area of Central Australia which, until recently, had no government funded art centre. As a result of their pioneering efforts, they have one of the strongest and richest art histories.

    About

    Gloria is one of Australia's most accomplished and sought after Aboriginal artists. While she is most recognized for her Leaves depictions, it all started for her with Awelye - her ceremonial body paint designs.

    Like her sisters and other women who gathered together for a tutorial in painting in the 1980's, Gloria instinctively knew what she was going to paint; body paint. "Nobody told me what to do, I been doing it myself."  And she often tells how it is her treasured subject to paint.

    Gloria doesn’t partake in a ceremony much nowadays but remembers it being a happy, social time full of singing and teaching.

    These two panels were commissioned in the grey on black for a 'bold-abstract meets quiet-sophistication' look.
