Reimagined Vistas: Celebrating the Art and Poetry of Bobbie and Mark Halperin

Reading Through The Generations 2026-03-26 | thepalacegallery.com/#
Barbara Halperin Obituary:
With Bobbie Halperin's death on August 28, 2025, Ellensburg
lost a well-known and appreciated artist. Her mural gracing the
entrance to the Hal Holmes Center is familiar to every resident
of our community. Patients visiting KVH's Medical Center can
also enjoy her paintings among its first-floor art collection.

Born Barbara Scott on January 18, 1942, Bobbie grew up in
New York City, where she briefly attended both Queens College
and the Pratt Institute before moving to Washington University
in St. Louis where she earned a bachelor's degree in fine arts.
Afterward she pursued graduate work at the University of Iowa
where she met her husband Mark. He brought her to Ellensburg
in 1966, and they welcomed a son, Noah, in 1973. Together
they visited and lived in Mexico, Japan, Italy and St. Petersburg,
trips that informed Bobbie's art. After Mark's death in summer
2018, she continued her career as an independent painter.

Over more than sixty years, she exhibited her paintings in
Ellensburg, the Pacific Northwest and as far afield as New York,
Massachusetts and Louisiana. She also shared her artistic
enthusiasm and skill in classes for students in local elementary
and middle schools. Her work decorates the walls of several
Ellensburg residents. Toward the end of her career, Bobbie
deviated from her previous direct style of collage and
experimented with digital painting that she both exhibited and
sold. In 2024, she moved to Arkansas to be close to her son
and his family. As part of that transition, she decided to consign
a large part of her remaining work to the Ellensburg community,
including Central Washington University. The proceeds of her
last exhibitions were donated to Gallery One and the Clymer
Museum. Bobbie's family plans to hold a memorial to her life next spring.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

6. What’s a book you love so much that you don’t care if others don’t like it? What’s that one book you love enough for everyone?

8. What’s in your “trash pocket”? What books, tropes, or themes that you know are bad but you love them anyway?
9. Do you have any deal breakers in books? Something that, if present, immediately turns you off from a book.
10. What’s a strong opinion you have about a book released within the last year? Whether it’s overrated, underrated, or just a take you need to share.
11. What do you look for in writing? What makes a book stand out to you? Is it prose style, themes, voice, structure, or something else?
12. How do you decide what to read next? Do you plan ahead, mood read, or follow external factors (hype, recommendations, ARCs)?
13. Where do you get inspiration for your BookTube content? What sparks your video ideas—other creators, trends, personal reading experiences?
14. If you could make any book go viral right now, what would it be? A book you think deserves more attention and why.

2. Road Trip:
Pick a real world setting from a recent (or not so recent) read, where would that road trip take you?

3. Camping:
Do you rough it? Say, tent and a sleeping bag. Or do you require amenities. Will you read more than usual?

4. Festivals:
You're attending a Booktube festival where dressing as your one of your favorite literary character is the only requirement, who do you go dressed as and why?

5. Slice of Life:
What is something others may consider simple or mundane but is something you can't see a summer without?
(Oops! Forgot to share my answer to this one. I can't see a summer without my annual harvest party).

6. Scary Story:
Which author would you invite to go camping with you knowing you would want to hear the scariest story they can tell around the camp fire?

A romantic interest during the summer months often leads to a bittersweet ending or a lasting impact. Which do you prefer to read? How does the age of the characters affect this opinion?

8. Nostalgia:
What book or books imbibe you with an overwhelming sense of summer nostalgia? (They don't necessarily have to take place during summer, but provide a strong attachment to summer somehow.)

9. Summer Stories:
What is a book (or books) you would recommend where the summer time is the primary focus?
