About

Born in the vibrant landscapes of Hawaii and nurtured by the creative energy of California, Theo Hetherington is an artist whose journey is as diverse as the canvases on which he works. Graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal Poly Pomona in 2004, he embarked on a unique artistic path, customizing and muralizing for TOMS Shoes and partcipating in the V Santos Surf Festival in Brazil, seamlessly intertwined with a decade-long tenure at Trader Joe’s.
During his tenure at Trader Joe’s, Theo, not only served as a dedicated crew member but also brought his artistic flair to life through captivating chalkboard designs, intricate pen drawings for shelf signs, seasonal window paintings, and awe-inspiring murals adorning store walls.
In 2004, Theo took a leap of faith, investing in a screen printing setup and establishing The Root – a haven for custom artistry where imagination knows no bounds. Over the years, Theo has showcased his talents across Southern California, leaving an indelible mark on every canvas he touches.

Currently based in Yucaipa, Theo continues to blend his passion for art with his role at Trader Joe’s, where he has rejoined with crew member, Steven Kramar, infusing creativity into the Redlands store and beyond.

With over two decades of experience in art, design, and branding, Theo has left an indelible mark on numerous projects, including recent endeavors such as large-scale murals for BDI Construction in Yucaipa and Escape Brewery in Laguna Niguel. His work is not confined to galleries but is proudly on the walls and cans of Escape Brewery in Redlands.
Theo offers a spectrum of artistic services ranging from screen printing to portraiture, fine art to graphic design, and from murals to photography. His dedication to artistic excellence and unwavering commitment to creative expression make Theo the perfect choice for anything custom art.
