Kandi Everett is our 2024 Gift Print Artist

Every year since 1933, the Honolulu Printmakers has commissioned a local printmaker to produce an edition of prints that the organization makes available to its members and the public to raise funds for its activities. The Gift Print Artist for 2024 is Kandi Everett

Artist Bio:
Kandi Everett has been tattooing for customers with wildly diverse desires since 1977. In July 2002, she began focusing her artistic energies on works on paper and joined the Honolulu Printmakers. Kandi is an avid collector and historian of tattooing and eclectic art artifacts. She enjoys drawing and printmaking. Kandi is known for her fierce painterly monotypes and dynamic figurative drawings frequently with humorous sexuality or a dark biting edge.

Kandi graduated from University of Hawaii. Her main education was between classes and lectures. Her real education was as a dishwasher in Waikiki, a fry cook in an Italian restaurant and in a stint as a Tieg welder.

Kandi Everett received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1969. She has exhibited her works locally, nationally and internationally, most recently at the Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce, the Honolulu Academy of Arts and Windward Community College.

This year the Gift Print was produced in a limited edition of 50 impressions, with profits from sales going directly to support the work of the Honolulu Printmakers as we continue to establish our new studio. The print is pre-sold sight-unseen until the opening of our annual exhibition, after which the price increases. The first and second impressions are retained for archival purposes.
