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.
