About the Project

This page was started by a U.S. expat living and working in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Bea Amaya is a manager at a trucking and logistics company, Trans Wonderland Limited, locally owned and operated within PNG.

"In getting to know my home city, Port Moresby, I notice a large number of 'street artists' with their works for sale throughout the capital. I began thinking how wonderful it would be if some of this beautiful artwork made its way back to the U.S. and to other places around the world. Neither and artist nor an art aficionado, I am merely someone who enjoys beautiful things. As the project grows, perhaps, together, we will find a way for these artists to be recognised and rewarded for their work. I can't wait to see what happens next."

Artist: Andrew Kauage

Andrew is one member of the artistic Kauage family. When I arrived at the market, he only had a single item left. This painting was quite unusual in that the colours were very dark and the black outlines of the faces highlighted in a bright blue. It also has the dot elements that are becoming more popular. Andrew admitted that this dark style is new to him, but told me that he has already sold several such paintings and will continue to experiment with it.
