A fountain of inspiration! From the Japanese-American internment camps to the creation of the San Francisco School of the Arts, Ruth Asawas life journey is one filled with challenges and obstacles turned into triumphs through perseverance and a unique vision. Known as the Fountain Lady of San Francisco due to the many fountains she designed, Asawa experimented with unconventional mediums, using lines, space, and wire to create dimensional sculptures. Author Joan Schoettler spoke with Asawas daughter, viewed countless pieces of art, and gathered information from around the country to create this profile of the extraordinary woman, teacher, and artist Ruth Asawa. The thorough research of illustrator Traci Van Wagoner is vividly apparent in the dynamic depictions of Asawa and her life that are sure to fascinate and inspire young readers.
