Timeline
Together with Isami Doi (1903–1965), Hee taught painting classes at the YMCA.
At this time, Doi instructed the young artist in woodcarving techniques and Hee, like his master, created wood engravings drawn from the rural life in the Islands.
Hee also founded the Hawaii Watercolor and Serigraph Society.
Hon Chew Hee (1906 – 1993) was an American muralist, watercolorist and printmaker who was born in Kahului, on the Hawaiian island of Maui in 1906.
He grew up in China, where he received his early training in Chinese brush painting.
He returned to the United States in 1920 at age 14 in order to further his training at the San Francisco Art Institute, receiving that school's highest academic honor.
From 1932 to the beginning of World War II, Hee lived in San Francisco, where he founded the Chinese Art Association.
He then taught in China until moving to Hawaii in 1935.
In Hawaii, he worked as a freelance artist and held classes in both Western and Eastern styles of painting.
Hon Chew Hee also studied in New York at the Art Students League, at Columbia University, and spent three years in Paris in the 1950s studying with Fernand Léger and Andre Lhote.
He was especially greatly influenced by the art of Jean Arp.
For the remainder of his life, he lived in Kaneohe, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he died in 1993.
Hee completed six murals for the Hawaii State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, the best known of which are The History of Medicine in Hilo Hospital and the murals that greet departing travelers at the Inter-island Terminal of Honolulu International Airport.
His other murals were painted for Manoa Library, Enchanted Lake Elementary School, Pukalani Elementary School, and Mililani Library.
