Mural Depicts The Life of President Theodore Roosevelt
Roosevelt Elementary School children now have someone to look up to, literally. The life and likeness of President Thedore Roosevelt now graces a 40'x8' wall at the school. The original concept drawing was done by Alisan Andrews, a Society of Western Artists signature artist, and further developed with Redwood City Art Center's Tom Chapman, a retired jockey and famous artist of horses and animals. Catherine Delfs, who is affiliated with the Sequoia Art Group contributed her expertise with the drawing and painting of small animals and birds.
This work was then completed in October together along with the Redwood City Art Center, teachers, students and parents, Second Mile, the Peninsula Covenant Church, and 300 community volunteers. It is a welcome addition to the cultural life of Redwood City.
