John Park and Julie Hunter are electrifying Westwood for years to come.
Park, a muralist for nonprofit organization Beautify Earth who is married to Hunter, painted 14 utility boxes stretching from around Charles E. Young Drive North to Veteran Avenue with murals of birds, greenery and symbols of sustainability. Alongside Hunter, who is a project manager for Beautify Earth – a movement supporting independent artists – the couple began the beautifying project in July, he said.
Wendelin Slusser, the associate vice provost for the Semel Healthy Campus Initiative Center, said UCLA Transportation and the Semel HCI Center oversaw the project in preparation for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. UCLA’s campus will serve as the Olympic Village for the quadrennial games.
