Glory Ngarla was born in 1948 at Boundary Bore.

She passed away in 2002 but not before painting some stunning depictions of her dreamings Bush Plum, Yam Dreaming and Body Paint. She uses soft brush tips in bright colours which almost look like weave work.

Glory started her artistic career as a batik artist in the 1970’s. Her work features in the book Utopia - A picture Story by Anne Marie Brody. Her work toured Adelaide, Sydney and Darwin in te 1980’s. In 1994 she also visited Indonesia to improve her knowledge of batik.

Her husband was the famous artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye's first cousin. She is also the younger sister of the late Motor Car Jim.
