The pool house, pool deck, equipment room and senior building at Lennox Park will be replaced over the next several months.  The renovations are scheduled to be complete in the summer of 2008.  The artist has proposed a large scale hand-painted glazed ceramic tile mural near the pool house entrance canopy.

About the Artist: East Los Angeles-based artist Wayne Healy has dedicated his career to public art projects ranging from murals and sculpture, to tile and metalwork.  He and fellow muralist David Botello founded East Los Streetscapers in 1975 and together they spearheaded the East LA mural movement. His designs are universal, narrative, site specific and compositionally dramatic in line, color and texture. His credits include numerous large scale murals and sculptures throughout Los Angeles, including works at the Gateway transit center, the Metro Blue Line Slauson Station, the DMV facility in Culver City, and the Ontario International Airport.  His studio work has been exhibited locally and internationally. Healy received his MFA from California State University, Northridge.
