An Anmatyerre speaker, Gloria’s country is Anungara and her Dreamings are Mountain Devil Lizard (arnkerrthe), Bean (atnwerle), Emu (ankerre), Pencil Yam (arlartyeye), and Grass Seed (ntange). Petyarre’s country is the inspiration for all her art.

Gloria first gained recognition as an artist working in the medium of batik, exhibiting with the Utopia Women in shows around Australia and abroad for a decade before taking up the medium of canvas. Gloria’s work has increased in scale and precision in recent years, and she is now regarded as one of Utopia’s most significant artists. Her paintings – monochromatic or multi-colored - are distinguishable for their well defined segments filled with curved lines, and evoke a strong rhythmic quality. Hers is a unique style, one that has evolved into abstract fields that represent leaves, grasses and bodypaint.
