Centre for Arts and Innovation

I live and work as an artist at the Eight Mile Centre for Art, we artists band together in creating wonderfully inspiring pieces that engage the interested eye in the world of art.

In my area of art, I like to delve in the works of creating sculptors and at present have produced some in painting and screen printing as well, and being with the Centre I feel my future is looking positive.

Since 2013, I have been with the centre dedicating my time and effort to building my skillset and in turn contributing by teaching those willing to learn from me.

The centre has helped many embrace their true potential in the artistic scope, even the seasoned artists themselves. Robin Emos from East New Britain and fine artist, Tom Deko from Goroka gave an overview of the work they do.

Emos has always had a deep interest in art, and raised by parents from a strong matrilineal society, he was nurtured by a strong Tolai mother and an influential father. His work is inspired by the reverence he has toward his traditional culture and the lifestyle of the Tolai.
