#don’t Occupy my vision
Woman erects huge painting to block her view of encampment

…Heather Thorson erected an 8-by-15-foot canvas painting at the western edge of the park to block her view of the encampment.

On Tuesday, police told Thorson she would have to take the painting down because she did not have a permit.

“I put it there so that when I look out my window I do not see people sleeping in the park,” Thorson said.

The self-employed businesswoman does not disagree with the protesters, who object to Wall Street banks and mortgage companies enriching themselves at the expense of middle-class taxpayers. “I understand where they are coming from. I believe we need to change things. But I do not believe that my tax dollars should pay for police to deal with (the protesters). They should have to go home (at night) and not be allowed to sleep in the park,” Thorson said

On Tuesday morning, Thorson said she got a call on her cell phone while attending a college course in Vallejo that her painting was being taken down. “When I came home, the police asked why I put it up. I said that (the protesters) shouldn’t have to occupy my vision every single day.
