Georgia's painting really took off when a friend of hers, Anita Politzer, showed some of her abstract drawings to photographer Alfred Stieglitz, who exhibited them at his gallery in New York City. He exclaimed, "At last, a woman on paper!" and told Anita that her drawing were the "purest, finest, sincerest things that he had seen in the gallery in a long while" Georgia again moved back to Texas and during this time she painted over 50 watercolors. Many of these watercolors were viewed at the gallery in New York in April of 1917, when Georgia held her first solo show. In the next winter in Texas, Georgia became ill and took a leave of absence from teaching and later resigned. Stieglitz, from the gallery encouraged Georgia to return to New York.

Georgia O'Keeffe was born on November 15, 1887. She was one of seven children. Georgia didn't grow up with just her mom and dad; her aunt mostly raised her. Georgia did not care much for her aunt though; she once referred to her as, "the headache of my life." She did although have some respect for her aunt and her strict and self disciplines way of life. Georgia grew up spoiled; she did very little around the house and always wanted things her way. At a young age Georgia began taking private art lessons out of her home.

Georgia loved New Mexico so much that she returned there for summers on. She was what we would call a loner, and wanted to go by herself. She bought a Model A Ford and tried to learn to drive, but was unsuccessful, so she just drove on back roads. When Georgia's husband died in 1949, at the age of 62 she moved to New Mexico for good and made this her permanent residence. In 1977, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Gerald R. Ford. This was only one of her many accomplishments, but it was a great one that she cherished. Georgia still loved to travel and spent lots of time doing so, but when she reached her early 90's she was tired of life. She spent her final days in her home and said, "It's time for me to go." Georgia died before she was able to make it to her 100th birthday. She died at the age of 98 on March 7, 1986, in a Santa Fe Hospital.
