Story / Additional InfoThe girl in the painting is reading a book of poems by Emily Dickenson. The artist is a published poet herself and admires Emily Dickenson. She couples this with her love of the ocean and Cayucos, her happy place. The sea is seen in the window behind the figure with the lilies in a vase and the filmy curtain blowing across it, recurring elements in this artist's works. The style is post impressionist, influenced by Pierre Bonnard, whose work is admired greatly by the artist.
