(The artist)
Trysen KaneshigeTRYS
Kauaʻi-born artist Trysen Kaneshige, known as TRYS, painted his first public wall as a senior at Kauaʻi High School in 2013. Since then he has painted more than 30 murals for the County of Kauaʻi, schools, museums and brands.
His walls lean on realism: native birds, island landscapes and the stories of the people who live with them. Every one starts with a conversation about who will see it every day.

“Trysen has officially placed the museum on the map as a ‘must-see’ destination.”
“Trysen is a true inspiration to our community, our island, our people, and especially our young people. … He is a role model for teaching them that you can heal through art and you can express yourself. You have a voice, and you can be seen.”
“This mural creates a visual image that connects the students to the place that they live in.”
“He completely nailed the brief, understanding exactly what we needed and delivering a design that exceeded our expectations. … We’ll definitely be using him again for future design projects.”
“Trysen’s innovative art captures the beauty of these Hawaiian birds.”
