Highlight Artist: Georgia O’Keeffe
//When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.// Georgia O'Keeffe

//Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.// Georgia O'Keeffe
