Artist, American, born 1947

The image shows the upper body of a person seated behind the wheel of a vehicle, likely a bus. The person is positioned centrally in the frame, with their hands visible on the steering wheel. They appear to be wearing a cap and a patterned garment. Their facial features are in shadow, making details hard to discern. The background shows the interior of the bus with rows of seats, the steering wheel, and reflective surfaces. The bus has decorative elements and non-English writing on the front. Outside, trees and buildings are visible through the transparent windshield.
