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."

8 Provinces

This beautiful work by Willey Kauage contains eight faces from eight provinces. The top left is from the Eastern Highlands Province, next is the Western Highlands Province, next is the Chimbu province, and on the top right is the Southern Highlands Province. The bottom left represents the Central Province, next is the Enga Province, next is the Western Province, and the bottom right face is unknown to me. These faces are characterised by long, smooth noses, gray, similarly shaped mouths, and matching eyes. The colourful borders between the images add more colour and design elements to the painting.
