I used to deliberately fight against liking the work of Frida Kahlo. You see, in my college painting studio there was an older Bolivian woman who was auditing the course and she LOVED Kahlo and seemed to fancy herself as the next Frida. Which wouldn’t have been a big deal except that she was mega annoying about it. She bugged the bejeezus out of everyone in the studio. So she tainted Frida for me. It wasn’t until years later that I rediscovered her work and came to develop my own artist crush on Frida. Today would have been her 105th birthday. So in honor of Frida Kahlo de Rivera, here are a few artists who also found her inspirational!
Emma Gale | Judy Kaufmann | Tara Jacoby | Fabian Ciraolo | Clair Hartmann
Happy birthday, Frida!

She was my favorite tortured artist when I was a teenager. I recall wanting to be like her when I grew up, I almost had a unibrow and decided that was a sign of artistic greatness. LOL.
Haha! That’s awesome, Leah.
