A week after arriving home from Kauai, I flew with my mom to Manhattan to catch the tail-end of the Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of Hawaii show at the New York Botanical Garden. On a cool fall day, we walked through the warm, tropical greenhouse filled with Hawaiian flora and stood before all of Georgia’s Hawaiian paintings, displayed together for the first time since their original showing at Alfred Stieglitz’s upper midtown gallery, An American Place, in 1940.

Aloha, Georgia!
