Charlie Wicking has been painting approximately since 1999. Charlie is inspired daily by her natural environment, particularly the sea, and this is reflected in her artworks. She loves the area that she lives in, the wonder of the rainforests, the beauty of the sea and the harshness of the earth when nature is at its hottest. Charlie has a colourful and vibrant style and is a talented artist. Charlie Wicking's real name is Charmaine Marree Baggow and she was born in Mackay, Queensland. The Traditional Custodians of the land here and surrounding districts is the Yuibera, Barada Barna and Widi Tribes. She is a descendant of Aboriginal and South Sea Islander people of that area. Her South Sea Islander family came from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Charlie values her Ancestral past and she acknowledges her descendants proudly. "We have to protect the land and sea where we live and play, once it's gone, it's gone. You can't eat or drink money. If we protect country, country will protect and provide for us".
Our range of global and multicultural resources help to support children's learning about their communities, as well as the world in general. These resources aid in the promotion of understanding and acceptance of different cultures, beliefs, languages, families, appearances and lifestyles. As children gain an understanding of their community, they also gain an understanding of themselves. This develops confidence and a sense of identity. Incorporating multicultural resources into play is a great way to introduce these concepts in fun and unobtrusive ways. Play is an important part of early childhood. Play encourages children to learn, develop and grow whilst they have fun. Through play, children can develop important cognitive and physical skills. Play encourages creativity, imagination, perseverance and the development of language and social skills.
