Glenys's paintings depict designs associated with the rockhole sites of Palturunya and Wirrulnga, east of the Kiwirrkura Community (Mt. Webb) in Western Australia. Concentric circles represent rockholes, and the arcs represent higher rocky outcrops near the site. Glenys depicts the mythological events of her ancestors. Her artwork focuses on the travels of her female ancestors, the sacred sites that they passed, and the mythological significance of the bush tucker that they collected. In mythological times, one old woman, Kutunga Napanangka, passed through this site during her travels towards the east. She passed through numerous sites along the way before arriving at the permanent water site of Muruntji, south we of Mt Leibig. These travels and rituals help to explain the current customs and the ceremonial lives of Pintupi Women.
