Meet Georgia O’Keeffe, the trailblazing artist often called the "Mother of American Modernism." Georgia knew at a young age that she wanted to be an artist, and she did just that. Born in 1887 in rural Wisconsin, O’Keeffe developed a deep love for nature that would shape her art for decades.

O’Keeffe is best known for her iconic flower paintings, New York cityscapes, and dramatic desert landscapes inspired by New Mexico. Her close-up floral works were revolutionary—inviting viewers to slow down and really see.
