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: Kena Werake

Kena's work displayed the typical tribal faces that I have come to recognise and admire. The faces were a little stylised, rather than realistic, and he included other cultural items in his work. By the time I got to his paintings, people were beginning to pack up and prepare to go home. I'm curious to see whether Kena's other works are in this same line or whether he goes outside of this norm for some variety.
