Georgia O’Keefe
GOATs | Creative Explorations in the Style of O’Keefe
Hello, Mother of American Modernism!
Join us for a 2-hour hands-on GOATs (Greatest of All Time) painting workshop series exploring one of art’s greatest, Georgia O’Keefe. During this Painterly class, we’ll dive into why O’Keefe is a household name and how she shaped the modern art movement in America. Expect dreamy landscapes, flowers, and abstractions inspired loosely by the American West. We’ll then set you loose on a playful creative journey of your own to explore just how this master created her works. Example compositions will be provided to guide the process + stoke your imagination.

In the canon of art history, it’s tough to be a woman: it’s a place where one will find lots of men but it’s a lot harder to spot the women . . . especially women painters who have become household names.
Well, look no further.
There’s no doubt that Georgia O’Keefe has earned her place in the history books and our pop culture lexicon with her sensuous blooms, dreamy landscapes, and eye for color + form. A celebrated artist throughout her lifetime, O’Keefe earned the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the National Medal of the Arts, and induction into the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
If that’s not worth celebrating with some O’Keefe-inspired art, then we don’t know what is.
