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."

Huli Warriors


I first saw this piece, by Newman Baundo, on display out in front of the Gateway Hotel. I really liked it, but the price was just too high. I later spotted Newman at the Saturday Market and found the piece was still available. I got it for less than half his original asking price, and had him stretch it onto a frame for me as well. The piece now hangs in our Trans Wonderland offices. I like the piece largely because it is very different from many of the others I have seen. I found that Newman now has a little spot at the Vision City RH Hypermarket to display his artwork. I'm guessing that soon I won't be able to afford it. :-)
