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."

5 Fishermen

This is a gorgeous piece by Max Dama that is one of those that, for some reason, just makes me smile. The reds and oranges of the setting sun in the background provide a base colour that jumps out from amid the blues, greys, and aquas of the border. The highly stylised piece includes some of the dot painting elements popular in Australian aboriginal art. From the details of the fish under the water, to the surprisingly lively stick figures in the canoe, to the amusing crocodile head and tail of the boat, this work is a real attention-getter.
