WORKING WITH KOH LIVING - IN GLADYS' WORDS

"It's good to show our painting. To earn some money, to keep on painting. It's okay with me. It's good."

Gladys' Artwork and Story

We are delighted to work with one Gladys artwork, which we have carefully created into a variety of products which we feel best showcase each artwork and complement the stories. The finished products are always shared with our artists before they are released, and it is typically our favourite days of the year to see how these gorgeous designs can be really brought to life on our gifts.

Medicine Flowers

In Gladys' playful paintings, the tiny wildflowers which blanket Iytwelepenty are magnified, dancing rhythmically across the canvas, haloed with bright line work which trace the loosely rendered shape of bush flowers in bold colour.
Gladys' work is a celebration of the simple beauty of Iytwelepenty, its wildflowers and their potent medicinal forces, of which she is very knowledgeable, often referring to the specific uses of flowers depicted in her work.
