Rachel Radona, a Hawaiʻi-born artist known for her bright, island-inspired style, officially debuted her new mural Tuesday, Feb. 10. The vibrant piece features bold colors, blooming plumeria and a design she says is meant to reflect the warmth of Hawaiʻi for every traveler who passes through the airport.
Radona shared her excitement on social media, calling the project a dream come true. She thanked the mentors and friends who supported her from the beginning and celebrated the chance to bring local artwork into one of the state’s busiest spaces.
