Art at Greens

"Treasure Ship, Goddess of Earth"
Silk screen: Mayumi Oda

This screen print by Mayumi Oda hangs near the door at one of my
favorite restaurants in San Francisco, Greens at Fort Mason.
When I'm there I like to walk around and study Mayumi's prints.
Last Friday was one of those lucky days I escaped and met
a friend there, and also remembered to take a snap for the blog too.

Mayumi is a printmaker best known for her
prints created for Green Gulch Zen Farm, and also
for spending "many years of her life as a global activist who
has participated in anti-nuclear campaigns worldwide."
Love her work.
