There is not much that happens in Idaho that excites me. Seriously. But I was thrilled to learn that Deborah Oropallo's work is currently exhibited in Ketchum at the Gail Severn Gallery. I first heard of her work on NPR and unlike most stories on art, Oropallo's sounded so interesting I found myself surfing the net for images. I like how she overlays portraits of well-known men with images of everyday women. I'll admit that some of her work does not appeal to me but there are those that do such as Captain's Mate, Pillage n Plunder, Cowgirl, and Helle's Belle's (both seen above). I like staring into the several layers and deciphering the images separately. What I don't like is having to travel to Sun Valley to view this exhibit.
