WAYNE ALANIZ HEALY

Biographical Information

Healy (born 1946) grew up in East Los Angeles and in the third grade collaborated on a dinosaur mural with his future partner David Botello. In 1975, shortly after the two ran into each other after many years, Healy and Botello co-founded what became the mural team known as East Los Streetscapers. In 1992 Healy and artist Roberto Delgado were awarded a grant by the Joint Spanish/U.S. Committee for Educational and Cultural Cooperation to paint murals in Barcelona, Spain.

East Los Streetscapers
In 1977 David Botello and Healy founded Los Dos Streetscapers. Shortly thereafter other artists, such as George Yepes and Rudy Calderon, began working with them, so they changed their name to East Los Streetscapers. However, while other artists have come and gone, Botello and Healy remain the core of the team. In addition to their many local murals, they have done projects in Houston, St. Louis, Bellingham, Washington, as well as San Jose and Santa Maria, California. Botello and Healy did their first mural together–about dinosaurs–in the third grade.
