In 2018, artist Gus Cutty painted a mural of Dolly Parton on Haywood Road outside Beauty Parade Hair Salon in West Asheville, North Carolina, United States.
The portrait replaced another of a girl licking ice cream, and took four days to complete.

[3] John Le of WLOS called the original mural of Dolly "a colorful new artistic landmark ... sure to draw a lot of traffic on social media".
On season 14 of RuPaul's Drag Race, seven contestants attempted to recreate the painting as part of a mini-challenge on episode "The Ross Mathews Roast".
