World Printmakers digital printmaker, Joan Pabst Dubanoski, has been chosen by Starwood Hotels to provide the artwork for the major renovation of the 1,480 rooms of their Sheraton Waikiki Hotel on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. Dubanoski's digital prints feature abstract images of local flora and are printed by master printer, Stefan Meinl on archival watercolor paper using pigment-based inks. Different room-design themes and images were chosen for the ocean-view and mountain/city-view rooms, respectively. The renovation, designed by Honolulu-based architectural and interior-design firm Peter Vincent & Associates, began early in 2005 and will continue through 2007. Presently four floors are completed and ready for visitor occupancy.

"It has been exciting and challenging to be associated with such a large project and rewarding to know that Sheraton celebrates the beauty of local flora in their renovation and supports the placement of fine-art prints in their guest rooms," said Dubanoski.
