In this episode, Rachel and Nick head to America and take to the sky! One of the few women artists in 20th century America to achieve critical and commercial success, Georgia O’Keeffe’s distinctive voice beguiles in her series of cloud paintings. An artist who loved music herself, join us as we take a musical journey inspired by her stunning Sky Above Clouds IV.
