My Name Is Georgia: A Portrait by Jeanette Winter


From the time she was just a young girl, Georgia O'Keeffe viewed the world in her own way. While other girls played with toys and braided their hair, Georgia practiced her drawing and let her hair fly free. As an adult, Georgia followed her love of art from the steel canyons of New York City to the vast plains of New Mexico. There she painted all day, and slept beneath the stars at night. Throughout her life Georgia O'Keeffe followed her dreams--and so found her way to become a great American artist.

How It Came Alive

Geography

Our conversations were about moving around and living in different places. We have lived in the desert, too, which was markedly different from where we live in the mountains now. And, yet, like Georgia O'Keefe we are able to see beauty in each setting.
