A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Keith Scott Ferris has exhibited since the 1970s and maintained a fine art studio for over forty-seven years. Although his focus has been abstract oil paintings on canvas, drawing remains foundational to his work. The over fifty drawings in MUNI IS MY RIDE, which he started in 2009, evolved and helped him hone his abilities to capture a likeness in his portraiture.

Lia Smith writes short stories and novels. She has had short stories published in both national and literary magazines. She has employed her writing skills to advocate for her community and has project managed several community art installations including the Alemany Island Beautification Project, the first freeway pillar painted in San Francisco and flanked by forty-eight art panels at the intersection of Alemany Boulevard and San Bruno Avenue.
