Painted Wood Sign - Belonging Being Becoming

Bring meaningful storytelling and cultural connection into your learning space with Awe & Wonder's hand-painted wooden "Belonging, Being, Becoming” sign. 

Beautifully handpainted by an emerging Indigenous artist, Simone Hills. Crafted from natural wood and carefully carved by hand, each panel features raised lettering and is decorated with intricate painted patterns inspired by traditional Indigenous art practices. The flowing motifs and earthy tones reflect connection to land, community, and identity, making this piece far more than decorative—it is a gentle invitation to explore culture, respect, and shared understanding.

Designed as a three-tier hanging sign, each wooden panel is suspended with natural twine, creating movement and visual interest while maintaining a warm, organic feel. The word “Belonging” is presented across the panels, reinforcing an important social and emotional learning concept that resonates in classrooms, early learning environments, and home education settings.

As an educational resource, this piece supports conversations around Indigenous perspectives, inclusion, and cultural appreciation. It can be used as a visual prompt to encourage discussions about community, identity, and respect for First Nations cultures, aligning beautifully with values-based and inquiry-led learning approaches.

Each sign is individually handcrafted, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. Variations in wood grain and painted detail are part of the story, celebrating authenticity and the artist’s hand in every creation. This makes it a meaningful addition to any educational setting seeking to honour culture while creating a welcoming and inclusive environment.
