Georgia O’Keeffe was an American painter, famous for her Abstract flower paintings and nature themed compositions.

She was famous for painting magnified, large scale images of flowers as well as shells, leaves, bones and landscapes of New Mexico.

"I have painted what each flower is to me and I have painted it big enough so that
others would see what I see."
