M. Eisele, Denby Freeland Cole, E. Joy, Shari M. Lee, U'i Naho'olewa, Dalani Tanahy and Pueo Pata.

A drawing for a monotype will be held during the Friday evening reception; pupu and drinks will be served. Whittemore works in a printmaking style called viscosity monotype. She creates her pieces on a printmaking press, first by painting on a piece of plexiglass then by running the plate through a press at high pressure, resulting in a unique original print on paper.
