Which New Mexico location did Georgia O'Keeffe first visit in 1934?

Georgia O'Keeffe first visited Ghost Ranch in 1934.

Ghost Ranch is a dramatic area near Abiquiú in northern New Mexico, known for colorful cliffs, mesas, and expansive desert scenery. O'Keeffe began visiting it in 1934, and its distinctive landscape became one of the most recognizable settings in her work.

She rented a house at Ghost Ranch and later bought a home in nearby Abiquiú. Paintings associated with the ranch often isolate cliffs, walls, trees, and other forms so that the landscape becomes both a specific place and an abstract arrangement.

Ghost Ranch is not the same as Taos, another New Mexico art center that attracted artists. O'Keeffe's association with Ghost Ranch is particularly strong because she repeatedly painted its cliffs and made the area an important part of her working life.
