What New Mexico village became Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in the late 1940s?

The story behind the answer

Abiquiú became Georgia O'Keeffe's home and studio in the late 1940s.

O'Keeffe acquired and restored a house in Abiquiú, New Mexico, and moved there permanently in 1949. The property included a distinctive courtyard wall and door, subjects that she painted repeatedly after finding them in the village.

Her Abiquiú home was separate from her house at Ghost Ranch, although both places were central to her New Mexico life. The studio and surrounding architecture helped shape the quieter, more structured imagery of her later work.

Abiquiú is sometimes replaced in answers by Santa Fe because O'Keeffe died there and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is located there. The specific village associated with her restored home and studio is Abiquiú.
