Gloria was one of the founding members of the Batik Movement in the 1970s then moving to acrylic on canvas. Her earlier works were of Awelye designs which are the designs painted across women’s top half of their bodies during ceremony. The iconic Bush Medicine Leaves Dreaming portrays the various stages of growth throughout the year of this important plant which have medicinal properties and has been used for generations by Gloria’s ancestors. Gloria started painting her larger leaves later in her career.
