What and where is O'Keeffe Country?

O'Keeffe Country is most commonly known as the region in Northern New Mexico that encompasses Santa Fe, north to Abiquiu, through Ghost Ranch and up to Taos. Georgia O'Keeffe held residence in all of these places at one time during her life, documenting most in her unmistakable, artistic style through drawings, pastels, paintings and photographs.

She is arguably the most famous person to fall in love with this terrain, but she isn't the only one to claim this place as home. We think everyone who visits has dreams of some type of spiritual ownership. This is simply the magic of the land.

There are so many amazing people, places, and things to discover in Northern New Mexico. This website is our guide to a few of our favorites.

"From O’Keeffe’s first prolonged stay in New Mexico, in 1929, she instantly felt an affinity with the unique character of the area, its landscape,
and its architecture, all of which inspired her art. The beauty, clarity, and colorful character of [her] paintings captured the area’s richness in such a compelling way that they have been associated with the landscape of Northern New Mexico, and thus have allowed O’Keeffe to claim the area as her own. It has come to be known as O'Keeffe Country."

"Well! Well! Well!...This is wonderful.
No one told me it was like this!"
