Audrey Sutherland
Audrey Sutherland grew up in California but lived in Hawai’i from 1952 until her death in 2015 at the age of 94. She raised her four children as a single mother, supporting her family by working as a school counselor.

Ever after she was an inveterate water traveler. She was also the author of Paddling Hawai’i. Yoshiko Yamamoto is one of the premier block printers in the Arts and Crafts style. Yamamoto’s block prints are letterpress printed using hand cut blocks on acid free paper.
