To kick off Women s History Month, Nan Colton will present “The Colorful Life of Georgia O Keeffe,” Friday, Mar. 5 at 10 a.m., as the next presentation of Academia Hernando.
Unlike most of her contemporaries, Georgia’s training and most of her subject matter were purely American.  O’Keeffe’s way of living and expressing what she saw was out of the ordinary. She is known to have stated: “If only people were trees…I might like them better.”  She was an original artist, an unconventional beauty, and a person of nonconforming taste in dress and behavior. Her independence and professionalism created the path for the “new woman.” Georgia was devoted to creating imagery that expressed what she called “the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it.” ....
