A good 4 hour drive west of Amarillo and you find your self in the heavily Spanish/Mexican influenced enclave of Santa Fe. Spanish conquistadors settled here in the 1500's and the pueblo style architecture is testimony to their legacy.


Although O'Keefe is strongly associated with New Mexico, i was interested to learn that she had spent her formative years as an artist working as a teacher in Amarillo (1912-1918) and the landscape there influenced much of her work throughout her life.
"Texas is my spiritual home!" - O'Keefe.
