Local artist and member of the SALA team Margarita Ryan stands next to her portrait of J. Robert Oppenheimer following the premiere of ‘Oppenheimer After Trinity’ Saturday evening at SALA. Ryan started from a blank as guests arrived and completed it in time to auction it at the end of the evening. She also does much of the graphics work for SALA events.
