Georgia O’Keefe
Georgia lived in New York City in her early years but eventually move to New Mexico to live at her beloved Ghost Ranch. I have always been drawn to her work because of the subject matter. Georgia always painted scenes or objects of her environment. She is known as one of America’s greatest modern artist’s. Below is a 3 and a half min video with many of her paintings as well as a brief history. I especially enjoyed the photo and the quote at the end of the video. I think I would really enjoy Georgia as a friend.
