How Georgia Became O'Keeffe: Lessons On The Art Of Living is part biography, part entertaining life-lessons. Karen Karbo's writing style is quirky, she's your fun friend talking to you over a glass of wine and making you laugh. The "lessons" are from Karbo's own life, deftly presented as personal commentary, including witty asides (footnotes).
I highly recommend How Georgia Became O'Keeffe for the story of the artist who became a towering icon of the art world, a woman of passion and self-discipline who succeeded in being fully herself in an era when women were to be seen but not heard. O'Keeffe would do well as a role model for any creative person, but especially for anyone who who understands that the most valuable and powerful possession she possesses is her own Self.
