Georgia Totti O’Keeffe was an American artist born in 1887 and died in 1986. She has been a major figure in American art since 1920 and is chiefly known for paintings of abstraction and flowers, rocks, shells, and landscapes. She attended schools such as, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Art Students League in New York City. She did a lot of work and studying with watercolors. In the fall of 1908, Georgia became discouraged with her work and became an elementary art teacher for awhile. After leaving teaching, she met many American modernists who eventually inspired her to start working in primarily in oil. In the mid ‘20s she began painting large scale nature themed paintings. Her work was first exhibited in 1916
