Catalogue Note
The younger sister of renowned artist Georgia O'Keeffe, Ida was raised in a creative household in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. While she was working as a nurse, she painted throughout her life and exhibited in several New York galleries in the 1930s. She frequently worked with same subject matter as her sister yet in different media, competing a monotype print and then painting the subject in oil, or vice versa.
