Art book accompanying the "In the Studio" exhibition at Fishcakes Hawaiʻi from April 13 to July 6, 2023.

"In the Studio" celebrates the creativity and commitment of Hawaii's art community. The artists' diverse range of media, including sculpture, painting, ceramics, textiles, photography, multimedia, wood, and earth works, are featured in the book, which visits the artists’ studios. From small corners in snug apartments to spacious indoor/outdoor studios, each workspace is as unique as the artist who works within it.
