A Mural Beside the 20th Street Hillside

Posted on by

Neighbors’ vision to fill the empty retaining walls next to the 20th and Noe hillside garden (see photo above) is getting legs (or arms and paintbrushes).  Dave Dea, co-chair of the Green Gardens Committee, reported that they’ve selected a wall mural artist. Her name is Melanie Getman, a native San Franciscan born in North Beach/Chinatown.  Her website has many  images of nature scenes with diverse color palettes, hopefully appealing to all tastes.  The group wants the mural to be a nature scene – with the landmark Cork Oak tree as an anchor image, along with insects, plants, birds and raptors nesting, flybys etc.

Dave is asking for feedback and for more volunteers to help set up a GoFundMe and to raise money for the conceptual drawing of the mural to submit to the SF Arts Commission. You can reach him at ddea888@gmail.com.
