Inside an artist’s studio

By Paula Rath, Advertiser Staff Writer

“Tucked away in the back of Palolo Valley is a mondo-grass farm that serves as the “front yard” for artist Yvonne Cheng’s studio. The backyard is a lush tropical garden of ginger, heliconia and a dramatic stand of royal palms. It’s a paradise for an artist’s palette.

In the studio, Cheng works her magic with acrylic paint on huge canvases, sharing space with her dogs, Kula and Sunday, who have the best of both worlds: At home in Makiki, they are lazy city dogs; in Palolo, they are country dogs running free.

Most of her works are large murals created on commission. They can be seen in the Hilton Hawaiian Village Kalia Tower, Mariposa restaurant in Neiman Marcus, the Grand Wailea Resort on Maui, and in the Hawai’i State Art Museum. Her work also was featured in the Honolulu Academy of Art’s Showcase 2006.

Born in 1941 in Surabaya, Indonesia, Cheng has lived in Hawai’i since 1967.”
