I had to wait almost a month to get the police report for my neice, because an quanitance I know – filed for it as soon as he heard Drew Benton took her life! He did not tell me this. He told me he was gong to file a lawsuit against the City of Belmont for taking Carl Janke’s property that may have belonged to his descendants. He bragged how he would be driving around in a lumazine, while I struggle to stay alive! Would you say this guy is a – parasite:
The City of Belmont, and the Belmont Historical Society, should have received me with open arms, and provided a sanctuary for my family history – that makes up most of Belmont’s – REAL HISTORY – that they are celebrating. I have not heard back from a City Councilperson I reached out to in regards of producing the Musical…
LA CALIFORNIA!

Here is the letter I just sent the Governor of California. There are scammers out there. Do not share any family information with those who offer their help. They could call up your children and hit on them for money. Don’t give them any addresses and bank names. The economic disaster is just setting in, Victims may become predators, just to survive. People you trusted, can – and will turn on you!

P.S. .” I was sent papers to sign, but am afraid I might be signing full financial responsibility, and, may lose my SSI.”
Casey Farrell and his made-up friend, made me afraid to sign any funeral papers. A week ago he told me he talked with officials in Bullhead about who is entitled to get Drew’s cremated remains and belongings. He said “Uncle” was on the list. When I asked why he found our I was – ON THE LIST – he said his nephew was murdered in Bullhead.
“You never told me that! What’s his name?”
Casey Farewell – hung up!
These are the kind of parasites victims of a tragedy – will encounter. They take advantage of your grief. Casey was homeless for a year, until his sister took him in. He hates his family of – NOBODIES! He is CANNABALIZING my famous family. There was a long delay in getting a Police Report because others asked for one – before me! Casey never asked me what the report said. He may have wanted the cremated ashes, and the report to – pose as me?I keep asking him if he is writing anything, and he said he is not. I want the FBI to talk to Mr. Farrell and get the names of his(fictional) nephew, and the guy who told this stalker to warn me – not to pay for Drew’s cremation. They are….one and the same!
Prove me wrong!
P.S.S. Its coming back to me. On the phone Casey Farrell was claiming Drew – was not dead – and I was being scammed, Was Casey after Drew’s Death Certificate? Bosley wanted it. He did n’t get it. I called Farrell a Claim Jumper. Was he going to say he was an agent for Drew Benton in his lawsuit to get most of the property in downtown Belmont? I would own no proof Drew is dead! Farwell my be going after Garth Benton’s Art, and trying to get them Copyrighted. I hereby Copyright them. This includes his mural that grace the walls of many celebrities. Did any of these mural get destroyed in the fire, or, are in grave danger? Is Drew due any artwork her mother rendered? I claim and Copyright Rosamond’s images. Be careful out there. When you become homeless overnight, then they come – the Night Wolves!
Oh! Are any of my readers wondering is Casey helped me pay for Drew’s cremation?

Dear Governor Newsom;
I came upon a letter I wrote you in September asking your help in dealing with the suicide and funeral costs of my niece, Drew Taylor Benton. I reread my fears that I was being scammed, an idea that Casey Farrell, fueled. I was alarmed and he said a friend googled Drew Benton, and found a male. I asked for that frinds name, and he refused to give it.
A week ago I pressed him as to why he was conducting an investigation into Drew’s death, and held theories he did not share with me. He told me his nephew was murdered in Bullhead City. I asked for the name of his nephew, and he hung up. I became suspicious after I contracted an attorney about suing the City of Belmont for digging up my founding relatives in the middle of the night. In days he said he believes Carl Janke owned three acres of downtown Belmont, and he was going to file a lawsuit.
I called Casey Ferrell a STALKER, he after private family information – to exploit! Is it possible Mr. Farrell found a buyer for Drew’s incinerated remains, or, he wanted them to fortify his lawsuit – after violating my Copyright? Should I contact the FBI in California – and Arizona?
Please set up a Friends and Scammer Hotline that will help victims of the fires to know the good guys from the bad.

Dear Governor Newson;
I beseech your help in dealing with the suicide of my niece, Drew Benton. She took her life on July 23rd, and is in cold storage at the Desert Lawn Funeral Home in Mohave Valley, I am on SSI and a not able to pay for cremation. I was sent papers to sign, but am afraid I might be signing full financial responsibility, and, may lose my SSI. This is not a Family Matter. The probate court appointed Sydney Morris of Buck, Rose, Morris and Heisinger, a powerful law firm in Carmel, where Lawrence Chazen practices law. He is a partner in PlumpJack. Morris sold our artistic legacy to an outsider giving her permission to hire a ghost writer to author Drew and her mothers story, that would be made into a movie. There is a script. My brother told me our nieces would not get money from the book and move, only the art.
Chazen tried to become executor, but he was the No.1 creditor. I suspect he was going to realize profits from the book and movie – that were flops. They failed to generate interest in Christine Rosamond’s waning art. My nieces have had very little to live on. Drew was decorating cakes at Walmart. She helped her father refurbish the murals at the Getty Villas and was a accomplished artist. Her mother died when she was eight. These outsiders assumed the role of surrogate mothers. They contributed to the mental illness of Drew and Shannon – who had to guess what reality is! Are you confused?
Ask your wife how the trappings of the Movie Industry is detrimental to adults – and children. Drew is kin to Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, whose son, Christopher wilding, married Aileen Getty, thus Drew and I are kin to all members of the Getty family, who are partners of Larry Chazen. This history is too overawing. The Bentons are a historic family. If no one pays to cremated Drew, the mortuary will do so, and a society will spread her ashes – where they see fit.
Sincerely
John Presco

In Memoriam: Garth Benton
| Mural by Garth Benton in the Outer Peristyle at the Getty Villa, Malibu CA. via Flickr |
This week I was saddened to learn of the passing of a great muralist, Mr. Garth Benton, an internationally recognized artist who was well known for his stylish first-century style trompe l’oeil decoration of the magnificent Getty Villa in Malibu, California.
Mr. Benton “died a after with battle cancer” in May of 2012. I am surprised I did not see it reported anywhere and I only figured it out after I noticed that his website had gone down and began making inquiries. Being a pre-internet personality Mr. Benton was not widely mentioned on the web, but his work was nevertheless world-class, and very well-known in its day.
I had the pleasure of working on a project with Garth Benton many years ago when he came to San Francisco to paint some spectacular Chinoiserie murals in a private residence here. He had arrived in town with inexplicably blank wallpaper apparently intending to paint the murals on site, but with no help and nowhere near enough time. I got a desperate call from the wallpaper hanger (who knew I also paint in this style) and rather than ask what the heck had gone wrong, out of respect for this great master painter I put my nearly entire studio at Mr. Benton’s disposal – scaffolding, buckets, tarps, ladders, brushes, and as many assistants as I could round up – and we all learned a lot from him while helping him complete his commission, some of the crew often working until 3 AM or even all night, trying to meet the deadline. While we painted, we were regaled with entertaining stories about his many celebrity clients and amazing jobs he’d done over the years. It was exhausting and exciting and the job was truly beautiful.
A couple of years later Mr. Benton made headlines for suing his clients, Ann and Gordon Getty, for having painted over one of his older murals in their San Francisco home, which he had hoped to photograph for a glossy catalogue raisonné of his work. The mural had been painted on canvas and could easily have been removed, but the Gettys had not realized this when they redecorated, and had to settle a large amount of money on him for the error. While I felt deeply over the heartbreaking loss of the artwork, the case made me cringe: suing an otherwise supportive client likely didn’t help his future business. The mural is still gone and the book was never published.
We exchanged a few emails over the years, but regrettably never did get to meet again.
So I offer this short tribute to Mr. Garth Benton, to be remembered for his fine work, and his influence on a generation of muralists.

Scott WatermanApril 23, 2013 at 1:18 PMI met Garth in ’89 or 90 around the time I first moved to CA. We were both published in the same Rizzoli book which is how I knew about him so I looked him and paid him a visit. Garth was very nice but the thing that really made an impression on me was him telling me he was married to Rosamond whose paintings made into posters were ubiquitous in the 70s.ReplyReplies
Lynne RutterApril 23, 2013 at 1:29 PMYes I heard about their marriage and the really tragic way she died later. She was a hugely successful artist and her work instantly recognizable (to anyone in our age group!)
AlanApril 23, 2013 at 4:05 PMBest post yet. I wish I could have met him, but the anecdotes are fantastic and will have to do.Reply
Mark D. RuffnerApril 23, 2013 at 6:45 PMI have always admired Garth Benton’s exquisite murals at the Getty Museum, but was not familiar with his other work, including the gorgeous Chinoiserie mural that you’ve featured here. I wish he could have published that book.ReplyReplies
- Lynne RutterApril 23, 2013 at 7:07 PMMaybe his daughter can carry on that effort. It’s a book I would love to have. Garth could and did paint in just about any style so the breadth of his work was really something.
Theresa CheekApril 25, 2013 at 4:00 PMThank you so much Lynne for this tribute. The fact that you met him and worked with him has to be special to you. I will cross my fingers that the daughter will see the importance of his work and carry on with the book.Reply
AnonymousMay 3, 2013 at 11:58 AMI worked with Garth and Christine (Rosamond) in the late 80’s in their Carmel gallery. They were lovely to work for – warm and gracious, down to earth, and wonderfully entertaining — and I was so disappointed that things didn’t work out for them.
I hope their children will carry on the legacy. (Isabella)ReplyReplies- Lynne RutterMay 3, 2013 at 2:22 PMHi Isabella
thanks for your comment. Glad to hear you knew them when they were happy.
TamraMay 14, 2013 at 2:13 PMWhat a fabulous post!! The time spent working together in your studio working all hours to meet the deadline, sounds like pure heaven!
I had two Rosamond prints when I was young and so loved them. In my 30’s, during one of my redecorating phases, a good friend talked me out of them only to let his wife get rid of them a couple of years later! Last year my Aunt graciously gave me a small one she has had since they were first sold. It is one of my treasured pieces. I had no idea these two people were related.
Thanks Lynne for not only the great fun factor here but the education as well.Reply- Ed PinsonNovember 3, 2013 at 8:51 PMI just learned today (11/2/13) of Garth Benton’s death. Needless to say I was profoundly shocked after such a passage of time. Thank you, Lynne for writing such a graceful and informative post. My wife and I worked with Garth for the first time in the late 1980’s. Needless to say, I was in awe of the man I knew by reputation from his work at the Getty Villa (in the same way as I was in awe of Larry Boyce and Bruce Bradbury–all of whom were instrumental in inspiring me to take up my own decorative work). Garth was kind, helpful, funny, inspiring and completely unpretentious in sharing any help or information he could offer. I last had the pleasure of working with he and his daughter, Drew, in 2009 on a residence where he created several grand spaces worthy of Villa Vizcaya. I do hope that his dear and very talented daughter finds a way to produce the book that would be a legacy and record of Garth’s incredible work.ReplyReplies
- Lynne RutterNovember 4, 2013 at 9:55 AMThanks for commenting Ed! I also worked with Larry Boyce the last couple of years of his life, which put me int he way of many people who are now close friends and colleagues. I’ve been very lucky with the level of mentorship in my past and I think these guys really influenced the way I work as well as my teaching style, and I owe my success in some part to their openness and fearlessness. I hope a book about Garth Benton’s work happens someday soon, too. It may not be my place to say, but I think Garth really deserves a place in the history of decor in this country. What better way to assure that then with a big glossy book!
- Ed PinsonNovember 4, 2013 at 4:22 PMSweet, Lynne. I so agree. And may I add that I am looking forward to putting a book about your own glorious contributions to decorative art on my shelf one day! The Ornamentalist is such a huge enjoyment and blessing for us all!
- briandavisart.comDecember 4, 2013 at 12:30 PMI knew Garth as well. When I owned Davis-Blue Artwork, an art publishing company, with Robert Blue we tried to get Garth to create artwork for a poster. The project never was realized but getting to know him was a great joy. At the time, he was working on murals in Bob Hope’s Palm Springs home. He was a very gifted artist. Brian Davis
- Mary A VealeJanuary 29, 2014 at 7:09 PMI was lucky to have Garth Benton pass through my life in the late 1990’s. He had moved to Headland, Al for a respite from California life. We met in my antique shop and he subsequently painted many things in a new home we were building at the time. Being on the board of our local museum, the Wiregrass Museum of Art, we arranged for an exhibition of Garth’s works. I am sure that I am the most anonymous person he ever worked with. We remained close friends until his sad death. In our last telephone conversation I told him that I thank God every day that he passed through my life and left a legacy of beauty in my home. As with lots of artists, he will not be fully appreciated during his life.ReplyReplies
- Lynne RutterMay 21, 2014 at 9:27 AMWow, Mary I am so happy for you having Garth’s work in your home! When I was working with him here in SF he had only just moved to Alabama, and he seemed so happy about living there.
- FrancoFebruary 23, 2020 at 3:01 PMI inherited 4 original signed oil paintings by Garth Benton and wonder if there is a Market for them? Regards FrancoReplyReplies
- Lynne RutterFebruary 23, 2020 at 3:41 PMI would have no idea. You might contact an art appraiser or auction house to find out

I am sorry to hear of Garth’s passing and that it is so many years later that I found out about it . RIP GarhReply

- Waiting For Historic Report About Drew Rosamond Benton
It looks like Drew survived her suicide, but not the treatment!
Everything I publish about Drew Rosamond Benton, will contain the sentence above. I am now going into my blog and putting together a historic report. I have notes to go through. I need a date for video below. The first contact I got from officer Holstrom was a missed call on August 13th at 7:15 A.M. Why so early? I have to look when we talked for the firt time – several days later! I asked Holstrom for a POLICE REPORT and she asked me why I wanted one. I talk about this request on this video. Today is September 23, 2024 – AND I HAVE NO REPORT! How many days is that after my first contact with Law Enforcement? FOURTY DAYS!……OUTRAGIOUS!
The average waiting time for a report from Bullhead City – is 14 days? Did I do something wrong? YES! Do not believe anything you hear. Record and make notes – of everything! Leave a paper trail! I should have made a request for a report online! I will do so – and make a Facebook video. In this video I am trying to find out who, and how, identified Drew Benton. Ivanna told me she had a driver’s license. The autopsy report says she was crawling on the ground – in her underwear! Did she has her purse draped over her shoulder? How was it determined Drew jumped from the third story balcony? If I had got a police report twenty days ago, then I would not be in the dark, nor would my reader! Is this Darkness – INTENTIONAL – is the giant question? What would be the motive? Make me frustrated – and give up! I own a registered newspaper in Oregon!
FLASH! I just read an article about suicides in Arizona…..
“In 2023, there were more than 39,000 visits to the emergency room for suicidality and 1,492 deaths by suicide reported in Arizona.“
I just did major attitude adjustment. The COLLECTIVE GRIEF is astronomical! These visits to the ER have left a GIANT WAKE OF CHAOS – that continues! Forty thousand citizens is – EPIDEMIC! The police and rescue people are – OVERWHELMED – along with hospital staff. A hundred people a month? I suspect something wen wrong that caused Drew to have a heart attack. I suspect she did not attempt to take her life. I still deserve answers. I want to know if anyone said she tried to kill herself, and I want the name of that person!
I tried to download the report request, but, failed. I have plans to go to computer classes.

EXTRA! I just talked with Jordon at records and she said I filed a request on AUGUST 15th. Drew would have been thirty-nine on September 25th.
A statewide effort to reduce suicides and support the families affected
Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States. This significant public health issue must be addressed to support our communities and prevent the loss of life.
In 2023, there were more than 39,000 visits to the emergency room for suicidality and 1,492 deaths by suicide reported in Arizona.
To combat the growing number of deaths by suicide, our Suicide Prevention Program has developed a new annual comprehensive suicide prevention plan, which helps support residents and their loved ones by establishing a coordinated network of community and state partners to work together in this effort.
This prevention plan serves as a strategic framework, aiming to identify and address risk factors, while promoting protective measures to bolster mental wellness and resilience.
Two days ago I gave Ivanna Drew Benton’s birthday so she can make a death certificate. I just found out I got it wrong after looking at my nieces Facebook that does not list any family members. Drew had no children. Did she run out of reasons for living?
If I had not discovered Raif took his life, I would not have delved deeper and discovered Christine and Garth’s daughter had taken her life, too If this discovery was not made, then Drew’s body would have remained on……THE BURN PILE! She would have been cremated all alone, without family knowing. A society would come and spread her ashes. They would not see a birthday. How close does this come to having never existed? In my ceremony I honor Drew’s wish to no longer exist.
Drew was born September 25, 1984. The passage “I have taken you out of the sheepcote.” came to mind.

To Ed Ray: President of Oregon State
Several months ago I began my response to you about giving a new name to Benton Hall that was named after my kin, Senator Thomas Hart Benton. My sister was a world famous artist that married Garth Benton. The artwork of Christine Rosamond Benton is found all over the world. As fate would have it, the beautiful images of Rosamond are very similar to the beautiful women Philip Boileau rendered. Philip is the son of Susan Benton, who held a salon in Paris, while her sister, Jessie, held one in San Francisco. Jessie wrote the journals of her husband’s mapping of the Oregon Territory.

Dear Governor Newson;
I beseech your help in dealing with the suicide of my niece, Drew Benton. She took her life on July 23rd, and is in cold storage at the Desert Lawn Funeral Home in Mohave Valley, I am on SSI and a not able to pay for cremation. I was sent papers to sign, but am afraid I might be signing full financial responsibility, and, may lose my SSI. This is not a Family Matter. The probate court appointed Sydney Morris of Buck, Rose, Morris and Heisinger, a powerful law firm in Carmel, where Lawrence Chazen practices law. He is a partner in PlumpJack. Morris sold our artistic legacy to an outsider giving her permission to hire a ghost writer to author Drew and her mothers story, that would be made into a movie. There is a script. My brother told me our nieces would not get money from the book and move, only the art.
Chazen tried to become executor, but he was the No.1 creditor. I suspect he was going to realize profits from the book and movie – that were flops. They failed to generate interest in Christine Rosamond’s waning art. My nieces have had very little to live on. Drew was decorating cakes at Walmart. She helped her father refurbish the murals at the Getty Villas and was a accomplished artist. Her mother died when she was eight. These outsiders assumed the role of surrogate mothers.

Drew Benton Is In Cold Storage
Posted on August 14, 2024 by Royal Rosamond Press
Two hours ago (8/13/24) Detective Hostrum called me and named the family members she tried to get a hold of, by relation, and not name. She had me call Arizona Affordable Funeral Home. I was told Drew Benton has been in cold storage since she took her life on July 23, 2024. Is this twenty-one days?
It is 10:51 A.M. and I still have not got a callback from Detective Hostrum. Rosemary told me Christine called her from the Getty mansion and said;
“I’m staying the night with the Gettys, and, I don’t know who I am anymre!”
Do the police know who Drew is? Her father did a mural for Gordon and Anne Getty, and is why they stayed the night. Garth sued his friends for later painting over it. Garth was furious. It was a historic part of his reseme’. He painted murals for Hollywood Stars. That ended the friendship with the largest collectors of art – in the world!
EXTRA! EXTRA! Around 1:00 P.M. on 8/14/24…I called up Springfield Lodge No.70 and asked Brother Josh in assistance with these graves matters. I am going to send him this e-mail. I then searched for the history of the Lodge in Belmont, and found this. I now suspect members of the Belmont Historical Society oppress my investigation of my ancestors because they were Oddfellows. There might have been a concerted attack against……..us. Carl Janke may have founded California Odd Fellows Lodge #1 of San Francisco, or been an outstanding member, and thus had a hand in the spread of our Society in Germany. Were those six portbles houses intended for Lodge members?

Yesterday I helped Avona fill out a Death Certificate for my niece, Drew Benton. I was not asked if she had a spouse. I should have been the Executor of the Estate of Christine Rosamond Benton, but I did not have a real death scene, and made the Probate Court aware of this. In theory, my beloved sister – did not die! Would Drew Benton – still be alive – if the truth was allowed to be? Some people – played God! Registered Republican’s are forgiving Trump for his sins, because he promotes Eternal Life – to some! How about forgiveness of sins?
On this day, August 16, 2024, I John Presco ‘The Sober Nazarite’ found Eternal Marriage After Death, and hereby Forgive Liz Taylor and Michael Jackson of their sins. I admit my niece Drew Benton – to heaven!

EXTRA! I just opened an e-mail from the South Carolina Historic Society. I spoke with Molly Sullivan yesterday. I questioned her about the typical response by the SCH to inquiries by researchers, authors, and folks researching their genealogies. She said we are a prompt as we can be. I then told her my rude treatment by the Belmont Historical Society, and the disgraceful treatment of my families remains. I had, and still have business ideas I wanted to plant in Belmont – including holding weddings!
