Georgia O'Keeffe's Sustainable, Slow Living New Mexico Lifestyle

Georgia O’Keefe’s Sustainable, Slow Living New Mexico Lifestyle

By Lisa Catherine Brown

Baking casseroles and zucchini bread for my household of six, I really had no time or inclination to invest myself debating the sexual abstractions of Georgia O’Keefe, no matter how much I admired her work. I only knew that any artist, who would find herself inspired by long-dead, bleached bones found in bleak desert scrub and then give them respect with justice through the time and gift of her talent, was okay in my book.

The fact the she created (intentionally or not!) sensuality and sexuality within her images also affirmed my belief that untamed feminine qualities are an intrinsic part of all life created within Mother Earth and Father Sky. Both entities deserve recognition, respect and are worthy of most devout reverence.
