Was notable american painter Georgia O'Keefe a lesbian?

My daughter had to choose a "famous" american to dress up as, and to present a 5 minute biography in Social Studies. She chose the stark, older appearing Georgia O'Keefe, in part, due to her striking appearance, and in part because she was a strong female.
Although she found information without trouble on the artist, the question has come up whether she lived a solitary life because she was gay, or if there is something being left un-said in the general public information my daughter can find.

What do you think? Is this common knowledge?

    Georgia O'Keefe's sexuality was never overtly addressed by the artist, but she was married to photographer Alfred Stieglitz in 1924, 6 years after moving in together, but only several months after his divorce to his first wife was finalized.
