I found a newspaper clipping that gives us the first real glimpse of Bower's impressive artistic history. Went to Stanford, Cal Arts, worked in Hollywood, sketch artist on Gone With the Wind, and more miles of murals than any other artist ever. Pretty amazing! One of the murals mentioned was a 2,600 SF fresco at the Sister Kenny Foundation in El Monte. Another was from the First Methodist Church in Huntington Park, looks like it is still there. Finally, I discovered that the Bowers murals from the Sunkist building now reside at the Ventura County Agricultural Museum in Santa Paula. Need to stop by for a look. DC
