  
This 120-page, four-color, softcover catalogue accompanies the SJMA exhibition How-To: The Paintings of Deborah Oropallo, on view at SJMA through February 10, 2002. The exhibition is a mid-career survey that highlights the work of one of the Bay Area's most influential painters. Oropallo has achieved national renown for her ability to transform mundane objects into striking images of poetic resonance. The catalogue includes an introduction and interview with the artist by former SJMA associate curator Merrill Falkenberg, and an essay by Jeff Kelley, professor of English at the University of California at Berkeley. Kelley has been widely published in nearly 20 exhibition catalogues and numerous periodicals, including Artforum and Art in America.
