HIDDEN Treasures of Naselesele - Art for TAGIMOUCIA Festival 2014

Taveuni, the "Garden Island" of Fiji, has many natural sites that attract visitors from all over the world -- reefs, beaches, tropical forests. Jo Dean (Keep Taveuni Clean campaign) asked me to design a banner for Naselesele Village to express this year's Tagimoucia Festival.

But WHAT are the beautiFUL natural attractions of Naselesele? The children...THEY are the hidden treasures of Naselesele.
