Pauline-Rose Hago (Derami) Papau New Guinea, Omie, b. 1968

Pauline-Rose Hago (Derami) is the daughter of Natalie Juvé, a Sahuoté clanwoman from Duharenu village who was also a barkcloth artist. As a young girl Pauline-Rose was adopted by Wilington Uruhé, the Paramount Chief of Ömie men. She has been fortunate to have learnt the traditional Sahuoté soru'e (tattoo designs) from her father Willington as she is now the foremost painter of important designs such as: taigu taigu'e - leaf pattern; sihae - tree fruit; joo sore - uncurling fern fronds; as well as ve" ija ahe - bone of the lizard. Her talents as a painter have seen her travel to Sydney, Australia in 2009 with Dapeni Jonevari (Mokokari) to attend an exhibition of Ömie art. She was married to the late Simon Hago and together they had four children.
