"Zelda" Mural restored by: Beate Bruhl

The mural came to be called "Zelda" during the reveal as she resembles Zelda Fitzgerald, muse and wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, but there was not an official title. Beate Bruhl, of Beate Bruhl Design, was the restoration artist who uncovered and restored the mural.  She is from the Bay Area, but works all over the world.  Beate has received the Governor's Preservation Award and the California Preservation Foundation Award for the California Theater, Pittsburg, CA and the New Mission Theater, San Francisco.
