Bio: Glory was born in Boundary Bore in 1948; an area in Utopia, a community 150 miles northeast of Alice Springs, known for quality art. She died in 2002.

Glory's brother is the well-respected artist Motor Car Jim.

Glory was involved in the Batik Project of the 1970s, when Western craft practices and traditional indigenous imagery were first combined.

Glory traveled through Australia in the 1980s to display a collection of utopian batiks. In 1994 she traveled to Indonesia to learn more about batik.

Most of Glory's works depict bush tucker such as berry, yam or bush plum, or awelye - the ceremonial designs that women paint on their bodies during their traditional ceremonies. Glory's work is characterized by the use of a complicated dotting technique.

Glory's work has been featured in a number of group exhibitions and is included in many important private collections.
