The Ghost Ranch was a favorite hangout of leading American artists and writers of the early to mid-twentieth century. It was made famous by Georgia O’Keefe, whose painting entitled “Ram’s Head, White Hollyhock and Little Hills” now serves as the icon for the Ghost Ranch and undoubtedly inspired the placement of this skull atop a shaman’s pole near one of the conference centers that was in use by Lynn V. Andrews . To see more Ghost Ranch Photos, go here!
