Description
Elise Seeds painted a mural, “Prehistoric Animals,” for a school in Los Angeles, CA, with funding from the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) and—upon the termination of the PWAP in 1934—the Federal and State Emergency Relief Administrations (FERA/SERA). The mural was subsequently relocated to the George Page Museum.
Elise Seeds’ other New Deal work in the region is a mural, “Air Mail,” at the post office in Oceanside, CA.
