"History
of Highland Park" Mural
Acrylic on Stucco, 130' wide x 12' high
Location: Highland Park, CA. Painted in 1978
The
Mural was commissioned by Pacific Telephone (nowSBC) for
its switching station in Highland Park. It portrays the
history and culture of the area for the past 150 years.
I was part of a team of 4 artists (Judy Baca, Sonia Williams,
Arnold Ramirez and myself). I illustrated the master drawing
that we all worked from. Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley and
other dignitaries spoke at the dedication ceremony. Ičve
come full circle with this mural because I know live 2 blocks
from it. The mural is still there and well-maintained.
