Americorps programs run by the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross sent us a note about one of her recent projects at Parkrose High School. A transcription of her letter accompanies the artwork below.
Dear friends,
The Parkrose High School mural is here. 20 feet of mural has been installed on the east wall of Parkorse High School. Muralist Larry Kangas (www.muralz.com) has created a vibrant 1600 sq ft frieze entitled “Horses Through History and World Cultures” (Broncos are the PHs mascot).
