Carlsbad Caverns Through the Artists Eye by Lois Manno
Who was the first artist to enter Carlsbad Caverns in 1924 and paint its wonders by lantern light? It was Santa Fe’s own Will Shuster, the creator of Zozobra. Many others have dared to follow in his footsteps including our own Steve Elmore. This fascinating book details many artists including Steve and the author Lois Manno and their individual influences on exploration and development of the cave. Author signed copies available by request.
We are happy to report that Steve Elmore’s “In Search of Nampeyo” won the gold medal in the IPBA’s Ben Franklin Awards in the Regional category. Steve traveled to Salt Lake City to accept the award where he gave a short talk about the life of Nampeyo to the crowd. We are pleased with this acknowledgment by the publishing industry and excited about an increased enthusiasm about Hopi pottery.
