Story / Additional InfoThe artist returns periodically to her happy place, the central coast and these hills that she passes through continue to inspire her. The red tile roofs are abundant in this area and the artist has captured the verdant landscape with the ocean in the distance. The rolling hills and the trees are represented in a stylized manner that can be seen in the artist's other works. The trees sometimes take on an anthropomorphic look.
