Nature makes O'Keeffe Country what it is... special.
And this refers to the land, the views, and the sense of place. You must get out into it, really into it, to experience its wonder. That's why we all exclaim, "NOW (!) we understand why Georgia came here. We understand why she had to live here, had to paint here, wanted it for herself." All of the cultures and peoples who have come to Northern New Mexico in its long and rich history have felt the same way, and we are no different. We want to be a part of this place, for as long as it will let us.

She also used their traditions and imagery as inspiration for her art and paintings.Surely she visited spectacular Bandelier National Monument, only 35 minutes from her home and studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Bandelier National Monument protects over 33,000 acres of rugged but beautiful canyon and mesa country, as well as evidence of a human presence here going back over 11,000 years. Petroglyphs, rock cliffs, cave dwellings, and standing masonry walls pay tribute to a culture that still survives in the surrounding communities.
