Georgia O’Keeffe's early life experiences had a profound impact on her artistry. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, the natural environment deeply influenced her appreciation for landscapes and organic forms, which became prominent features in her artwork. Her education at the Art Institute of Chicago and later in New York introduced her to a diverse array of artistic styles, culminating in her unique approach to painting. O’Keeffe’s relocation to New Mexico inspired new themes, such as the exploration of desert landscapes and flowers. The combination of her childhood surroundings and education significantly shaped her innovative vision and her role in American modernism.
