Born in Hackensack, New Jersey in 1954, Oropallo received her BFA from Alfred University and her MA/MFA from the University of California at Berkeley. Initially trained as a painter, she seamlessly integrates mixed media techniques such as photomontage, video, printmaking, and painting into her practice.

This 11-week program covers critical topics like wildfire risk reduction, forests, soil health, wildlife, habitat, pasture management, stream care, water capture and distribution, and much more.
In this introductory class, each class will have a short instruction time, a demonstration, followed by practice time with help from the instructor.

At the end of the course the sketch book will serve as the students ‘textbook’ and will showcase all they learned.
