The third son of Albert (dec) and Pudja Barunga, Gordon worked at a number of Kimberley places, such as Paniijan Station, One Arm Point and Christmas Creek before embarking on his artistic career.
Gordon paints both traditional Wandjina images and scenes of the Pantijan country in the style of Albert Namatjira and the Hermannsburg school of realistic watercolour landscapes. His work captures the austerity of the Wandjina figures in a way that closely depicts the actual Kimberley cave paintings and shows his love of his country and all that lives in it.
A curator at one of the leading state galleries has described Gordon as an "incredibly gifted artist".
