Hobo signs were drawn or carved into walls, trees, doors or other surfaces to indicate dangers or opportunities to other indigent travelers.#2: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jun 10, 2022 [HINT]
Most of these symbols were fairly geometric, so I have made them more organic to make the solves better.
This symbol means the same in the Swedish, English and American hobo sign systems.

EL 3 r18 = c38-40 white
LL/CL
(CL r12: the black pixel at c27 must be one of the 1s in that row. Which means that r12c26 must be either green or white, and it cannot be green because of the column clues.)
LL/CL
EL 3 c6 = r8-10 w
LL
EL 3 r1 = c8, c14 w
LL/CL to finish

Whoever lives here must be asking herself "why the heck am I so frequently accosted by hobos?"
