Printmaking student creates art that explores state's atomic history

Shelley Longmire, who has studied printmaking for five years at the college, has created a series of images that offer her artistic reflection of the state’s atomic history. Three of her prints are now featured in the Santa Fe Opera’s gift shop, as well as six of her cards. The artwork serves as a great tie-in to SFO’s production of “Doctor Atomic.” Her work incorporates monoprints with mixed media. She is also selling her cards at New Mexico History Museum gift shop. The Los Alamos-raised artist finds inspiration from the Manhattan Project — the intensity and secrecy of the mission, the landscape and the people who made this bold idea a reality.

Photo: Shelley Longmire’s card, “Trinity,” is one of six being sold at the Santa Fe Opera Gift shop and at the New Mexico History Museum Gift Shop.
