Katie Connolly as Georgia O’Keefe

Hi, my name is Georgia O’Keefe. I am a famous painter. I was born on November 15, 1887 in Wisconsin. I knew I wanted to be an artist when I was 12. I went to the New Mexico desert and I painted bones, fossils and skulls. I worked hard at painting and came up with my own shapes and ideas. I died on March 6, 1986 at the age of 98.
