Mayumi Oda was born in Japan in 1941 to a Zen buddhist father and a mother who wanted to bring joyful creativity to her daughter. As a young girl, Mayumi spent twelve hours a day drawing in school for three years which would allow her to draw anything she could fathom. She attended Tokyo University of Fine Arts, graduating in 1966 and then to the Pratt Graphic Center in New York from 1966-68. As her art received greater attention, she would come to be known as the “Matisse of Japan”. Mayumi has presented more than 50 solo shows internationally and has numerous private and permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the U.S. library of Congress and more.
