PAUL BOTELLO
Biographical Information
Botello (born 1961) was just eight years old when he began helping his older brother, David, paint murals. He studied art at California State University, Los Angeles, where he earned both a BA (Fine Arts 1985) and an MFA (1995). In 1994 he and Eva Cockcroft traveled to Berlin, Germany, where they collaborated on a mural, called Global Chessboard (72' x 120'). Botello spent spring 1997 as a visiting professor at Pitzer College in Claremont, teaching the art of mural painting. He was recently awarded a multi-year contract to create murals for the Boyle Heights Metro Rail Station (However, the MetroRail to East L.A. was put on indefinite hold in late 1997).
