On their way to lunch, students in Monet Korbis' second-grade class at Georgia O'Keeffe Elementary file through the hallway past the O'Keeffe-inspired murals painted by previous students. In a way, these students — who will paint murals of their own before the school year ends - are the living legacy of one of America's premier painters, a woman who found inspiration in New Mexico. "She's very much alive here at school," second-grade teacher Shelly Montoya says.
