Glory Ngarla was born in approximately 1948 at Boundary Bore in the Utopia region. Her late husband was Emily Kame Kngwarreye's first cousin. Glory and her husband raised six children. Glory is the younger sister of the late 'Motor Car' Jim.
Glory is well known for her beautiful batiks and is featured in the book "Utopia - A Picture Story" by Anne Marie Brody, which shows a collection of batiks now owned by the Robert Holmes a Court collection. Glory travelled to Adelaide, Sydney and Darwin in the 1980s to exhibit the batik collection and in 1994, she was one of the women from Utopia who went to Indonesia to learn more about the art of batik.
Glory's main Dreamings are Bush Plum, Bush Berry, Yam Dreaming, and Body Paint. She uses both linear design and intricate dot work in her depictions. Her recent Bush Berry paintings use an unusual series of blunt brush strokes, sometimes over-painted with a contrasting colour which produces beautiful work in a variety of palettes.

Many private collectors own Glory’s paintings.
