Gloria Gardiner
GLORIA
is a proud Kamilaroi woman. She grew up in the small North-Western N.S.W town of Goodooga. A retired General Primary teacher who still works casually in schools and education. She lives in the Northern Rivers NSW seaside town of Pottsville with her husband Tom and her children and grandchildren also living in Pottsville. Gloria and Tom are strong contributors to their small coastal community. Gloria’s art focuses on many of the traditional Aboriginal symbols such as camp sites, travel lines and resting places. Her art tells the stories of our diverse land, the communities that come together to support each other and the importance of family. Gloria has always had a strong interest in education, art and culture, and began her painting career about 25 years ago.
