Gordon was born in Perth and grew up in Turkey Creek (Warmun). His grandfather is David Turner, Chairperson of Turner Community via Turkey Creek. Gordon’s mother, Evelyn, a talented artist, is from Glen Hill, where Gordon now lives. He has four children – his sister, Jodie, is also a top artist as are many of the Glen Hill Community Members – so Gordon has grown up surrounded by art from both Glen Hill relatives and those at Turkey Creek.
Gordon has worked in Kununurra for Waringarri Aboriginal Corp. as a Field Officer, East Kimberley Aboriginal Medical Service and for Waringarri Art Centre.
He has developed an enviable style – combining imaging with dot art and achieves a “Three Dimensional” effect which is very popular. Gordon works with both ochre or acrylic. His carving of Boab Nuts is in keeping with his artistic talents – and Glen Hill country is renowned for some of the best natural Boab Nuts in the Kimberley.
