He also exhibited his work in the Pepper Street Arts Centre 2008 Exhibition. “There is a purity about Charlie’s art,” says Marie Hart, daughter of the renowned Pro Hart. “Charlie is pure talent, and his work reminds me of aboriginal art. In fact, the director of a well known gallery in Adelaide recently mistook one of Charlie’s paintings for an Emily!” (Emily Kame Kngwarreye).
