She began her career in the early 1900s with charcoal drawings and watercolors before developing her signature style of colorful abstracted floral close-ups. In the 1930s, O'Keeffe began spending time in New Mexico where she found inspiration in the vast desert landscapes, painting bones and landscapes. She lived part-time at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico, where she created some of her most famous works until the end of her life in 1984.
