A vivid exploration of the untold intimacy between Georgia O’Keeffe and Maria Chabot.
A compelling new play inspired by letters exchanged between renowned artist Georgia O’Keeffe and Maria Chabot, a dedicated advocate for Native American arts and rancher. Spanning their nine-year relationship from 1941 to 1949, the play delves into the intense and often overlooked bond between these two visionary women. It reveals a complex connection between O’Keeffe, a fiercely independent, gender-nonconforming artist, and Chabot, a young lesbian butch grappling with identity and belonging.
Despite challenges and imbalances, their relationship fostered creativity and transformation, leading to some of O’Keeffe’s most iconic works and the creation of her beloved home at Abiquiu—built as a lasting testament to Chabot’s devotion.
