Historically, in an art world dominated by men, women struggled to be taken seriously as artists while juggling the demands of their domestic lives. By the mid-1800s, some women were willing to buck the boundaries of propriety to find recognition.

This session, Georgia O’Keeffe – Invention and Reinvention, will introduce you to the life and works of a woman who lived life on her own terms and was a master at reinventing herself. A close look at Georgia O’Keeffe’s work reveals that the radical shifts she made personally are reflected in her paintings.

Learn more about the joys and challenges of becoming a working artist and the careers of those women who are lesser known!
