Born in Pakistan to Australian parents, G.W. BOT lived in many countries until the age of twenty, following her father who was in the military. She studied art in London, Paris, and Australia. 

Living and working in Canberra since 1985, she has developed a strong attachment to her homeland, which has become the main theme of her work. 

The technique of linocut, which she discovered in London, has remained her favorite means of expression. She has thus developed a personal calligraphy in which her dreamlike vision of the land and her extreme sensitivity merge.

In 1995, following a visit to the Ancient Egypt department of the Louvre, she created this linocut, “Le Corps,” inspired by the funerary objects placed in the tombs of the pharaohs to accompany the deceased from the gardens of life into death.
