Biography
Waka Waka/Kallilia artist, Gloria Beckett was born in Queensland in 1943. Removed from her family as a child, Beckett’s work often reflects the pain and suffering she endured as a consequence. Beckett worked in a number of media including oils, inks, pastels, synthetics and charcoal and her style is equally diverse. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Queensland Art Gallery as well as many private collections. Beckett showed her work in the 2001 exhibition “Gatherings, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art From Queensland Australia” and stated in the accompanying catalogue that, “I sometimes paint events of my past… it helps me overcome the suffering, the bad memories and torment. I have a deep passion to paint my people as I see character, beauty and stregth in their faces, but there are times when I see the despair, suffering and sadness.” This entry is a stub.
