Georgia O'Keeffe's journey was heavily influenced by her family dynamics and early experiences. Growing up in a rural farming family in Wisconsin, she was exposed to nature, which became a recurring theme in her art. Support from her mother nurtured her artistic skills, while her later studies at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Académie Julian in Paris expanded her horizons. The unconventional relationship with her husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz, encouraged her to embrace her individuality in her work, making her an icon of modernism and a pivotal figure in American art history.
