Here is more of Frida; it's from an 2002 art journal. July should be Celebrate Frida Month!

Frida

Frida Kahlo 1907 - 1954

My goal for the day was to clean a corner of my studio, and I rescued "Frida" from behind a bookcase. I used this image of her in a Day of the Dead display years ago.

July is Frida's month: born July 6th, 1907 & died July 13, 1954.

I didn't discover her until years after her death, but she has influenced my work in color choice & subject matter.

I would recommend reading The Lacuna by Kingslover. Frida is a prominent character in this work of fiction.
