O'Keeffe the young artist

georgia o'keeffe, about 21 years old"Georgia Totto O'Keeffe was born in a farmhouse on a large dairy farm outside of Sun Prairie, Wisconsin on November 15, 1887.

"When Georgia was in the eighth grade, she asked a daughter of a farm employee what she was going to do when she grew up. The girl said she didn't know. Georgia replied very definitely:

"'I am going to be an artist!' I don't really know where I got my artist idea... I only know that by that time, it was definitely settled in my mind."
