Glorine Martin

Glorine is Anmatyerr and Warlpiri from Yuelamu in the Northern Territory, Australia. Glorine comes into the art centre and paints every day. She is also helping to set up the new art centre.

“I was born here in Yuelamu (Mt Allan) in 1961 in a little cattle station. Then we moved to Yuendumu and lived there where I went to school. I went to Yirara, Alice Springs, for high school. Then back to Yuendumu and started working at the literacy centre at the school. I started painting in 1990’s at Warlukurlangu (Art Centre) right up until 2000. I like doing paintings, it’s really good. I have five children, fifteen grandchildren and three great grandchildren. I moved to Yuelamu in 2004 and was doing private paintings. I moved back here because Yuelamu is a good place to live. I came back to the Country.”

Glorine paints Goanna Anengkerr (Dreaming), Eagle Anengkerr, Women with coolamon and digging sticks Anengkerr, and Bush Onion Anengkerr.  Wakurlba, north of Yuendumu, is the place for Eagle Anengkerr (Dreaming).
