Who Really Put Each U.S. State on the Map?

Georgia O’Keeffe, though born in Wisconsin, made New Mexico her home and artistic muse. Her modernist paintings of desert landscapes brought international attention to the state’s natural beauty.

O’Keeffe’s home in Abiquiú and the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe draw art lovers worldwide. Her work helped brand New Mexico as a destination for creativity, scenic wonder, and Southwest culture, fueling a robust art tourism industry.
