WAILUKU — Maui Bus passengers can enjoy watercolor prints and nature photography on their bus rides. Through the Maui County Commission on Culture and the Arts’ new “Art on Wheels” program, Maui buses display watercolor prints by Maui artist Phil Sabado and nature photography by Lois Bisquera. Maui photographer Bisquera serves as assistant public information officer for Maui County. The program, the brainchild of Mayor Charmaine Tavares, aims to beautify the buses and make for a pleasant ride, a release said. The commission selected Sabado, while Tavares chose Bisquera for the honor. Tavares urged anyone interested in submitting laminated prints for future display to e-mail commission member Sherry Gabriele at sherry. gabriele@hawaiiantel. net. Buses will display works depicting various themes; so passengers transferring from one bus to another will see different scenes.
