Story / Additional InfoThe artist has created a tropical paradise like setting that she escapes to in her dreams sometimes. . The lush setting of palm trees and rocks and a waterfall have a meditative quality. She has peopled it with figures inspired by Matisse and other Fauvist painters. "The Joy of Life" by Henri Matisse was a particular inspiration where the figures frolic with abandon.
