Mona Caron is a freelance illustrator and public muralist based in San Francisco, CA. She has received several awards for her murals and has become a colorful part of the Bay Areas art activist and mural community. Her mural titled “Market Street Railway” shows the history of market street thought different color coded sections that show important scenes that have taken Market Street. They include: the bloody labor riots of 1934, an early Pride Parade, and the massive February '03 peace demonstration, and a futuristic eco-city illustration. I have been very insired by her eco-city image as well as her bike art.
"I chose these moments that show a radically different use of the public space in a continuum that wouldn't put too much emphasis on one or the other," Caron explains. "The implication is that all of these are things that make the city vibrant, and this is what the street is for."-Mona Caron
