In what U.S. state was painter Georgia O'Keeffe born in 1887?

Georgia O'Keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887. She was born on November 15, 1887, in Sun Prairie, a small community near Madison, and was the second of seven children in her family.

O'Keeffe's Wisconsin childhood preceded her major career in New York and New Mexico. She studied art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and later at the Art Students League of New York, where she received traditional academic training.

Her birthplace is sometimes confused with the locations most closely associated with her mature work. O'Keeffe became strongly identified with New Mexico, where she lived and worked for many years, but she was born in the American Midwest. Sun Prairie later preserved her childhood connection through the O'Keeffe family home site.
