patrick-ching-hawaii-wildlife-discovery-center

With every stroke of the paintbrush, Patrick Ching brings his deep rooted love for the Hawaiian Islands to life. Capturing the colors and sights of the island’s desirable atmosphere comes naturally to the Oahu born artist.

Known as Hawaiʻi’s Premiere Nature Artist, Ching advanced his talents after art college by working “in the field” for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service where he spent a good part of his life exploring remote areas of the islands, intimately learning the creatures and places that inspire his work.

Patrick was commissioned to paint the murals for the outside and interior of HWDC. We are honored to have Patrick’s incredible work as part of the Discovery Center!
