When: Saturday, March 2, 2019, at 2 pm Where: Roberta Salma's studio, 1375 Burlingame Ave., Burlingame, CA 94010 Admission: $10 per person, open to the public Anna shares what she learned about the famous artist through the summer and fall of 1976 and into winter 1977, when she worked as O’Keeffe's weekend companion in her two New Mexico homes. Between Anna’s personal experience and study of the artist and Anna's work in the years that followed, she gained a unique perspective on O’Keeffe’s life, her art practice, and lessons that all artists can take to heart. The talk will be illustrated, and there will be time for questions. Learn more about Anna Koster and Georgia O’Keeffe at www.annakoster.com.
