Thirteen years of walls, one hand
TRYS started with a senior-project mural at Kauaʻi High School in 2013. Inspire To Create Media followed in 2019. Today the studio paints civic walls for the County of Kauaʻi, creates for names like Volcom and OluKai, leads workshops for schools and community groups, and shares free guides and art calls for Hawaiʻi artists, all from a base on Kauaʻi.
What the island says about the walls
“…a gifted local artist whose vision, compassion and dedication have brought honor and inspiration to the Kauai community.”
COUNTY OF KAUAʻI PROCLAMATION · READ BY MAYOR DEREK S.K. KAWAKAMI
“Trysen has officially placed the museum on the map as a ‘must-see’ destination while on Kauai.”
BART THOMAS · DIRECTOR, KAUAʻI VETERANS MUSEUM · VIA THE GARDEN ISLAND ↗
“Trysen is a true inspiration to our community, our island our people, and especially our young people. … He motivates us and the young people in that 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.”
MAYA · HALE ʻŌPIO KAUAʻI
“He completely nailed the brief, understanding exactly what we needed and delivering a design that exceeded our expectations. He was fast, responsive, and super friendly throughout the entire process, and he handled every requested change quickly and perfectly.”
BRITT & SAMMY · CO-FOUNDERS, THE SIESTA CLUB, AUSTRALIA
“This mural creates a visual image that connects the students to the place that they live in.”
COREY NAKAMURA · PRINCIPAL, WILCOX ELEMENTARY →
