Create with O’Keeffe is a free monthly drop-in program offered in partnership with the Santa Fe Public Libraries, occurring on the second, third, and fourth Thursday of every month at libraries around Santa Fe.

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.
