Gloria’s Leaves, also known as Bush Medicine Leaves, are among the most popular and frequently painted images in Australian art. The Leaves paintings depict bush medicine leaves that fall seasonally to the ground, forming rhythmic, swirling patterns. These leaves come from the Eremophila dalyana shrub, commonly known as Desert Fuchsia. For generations, Gloria’s clan has used this shrub as the basis for a bush medicine believed to help with kidney problems. Gloria recalls first painting this subject in April 1994 at Mosquito Bore, Utopia.
