Art-Pacific: Who We Are - Ron Perry, Carolyn Leigh and Doug Mehaffey

Our site is Art-Pacific because we travel, collect and trade tribal art primarily in countries that rim the Pacific Ocean including Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, China and Mexico. We could not do this without our many good friends, including anthropologist Doug Mehaffey.

Artifacts on this site were collected in the field by my husband, Ron Perry. I take the photographs, do the html, text and maps. Art-Pacific has been on the WWW since 1996. We hope you enjoy our New Guinea tribal art and Indonesian folk art as much as we do.
