Born in Pakistan to Australian parents, G.W. BOT lived in numerous 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 deep attachment to her surroundings, which have become the central theme of her work.

Following the tradition of Australian Aboriginal artists, she adopted a totem -the wombat, a small animal native to the Canberra region. Early French literature referred to it as the “Grand Wam Bot,” from which she derived her artist name: G.W. BOT. The linocut technique, which she discovered in London, has remained her preferred medium. Through it, she has developed a personal visual language where her dreamlike vision of the landscape and her intense sensitivity merge.
