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: Taiya Kurumba

Taiya's faces were broad and interesting with some detailing, like the shadowing around the eyes, that gave them a more realistic impression, and other detailing, like neck ornaments, that were more stylised. He also had a piece on display that included significant articles of everyday life in PNG. The work was beautifully done, colourful and engaging.
