Gloria is a textile artist, based on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria. After completing some studies in design and colour as part of a Diploma of Art, she began to make her large vivid landscapes, depicting the Australian bush.  Most of her work showcases fabric that she has hand painted or dyed and features extensive machine embroidery. Recent work has been based on architecture and semi abstract landscapes.

As well as working as an artist, she enjoys sharing her knowledge and skills with others, teaching workshops both nationally and internationally.

She has written five books and has developed three online classes for students to download to their own computer. Her most recent book, Vibrant Landscapes, is a collaboration of her husband Tony’s photography and her response in textiles.

In 2009, her commitment to teaching was acknowledged, when she received the Rajah Award, presented for an outstanding contribution to quilting in Australia.
