Frida Kahlo

“I paint flowers so they will not die” – Frida Kahlo

Some facts about Frida:

  • Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who created many self portraits with themes of pain, love and identity.
  • She suffered from chronic pain due to contracting polio as a child and a serious bus accident when she was 18.
  • She had a tumultuous relationship with her husband, Diego, and both had affairs throughout their marriage.
  • Frida was bisexual and often had affairs with women.
  • It’s really hard to write “Frida” without putting a “y” at the end.

This piece is from a series I’m working on, inspired by the Indigenous kids where I live. I travel out to Aboriginal communities for my job and the kids living out on community always seem to have the most fun! I truly envy their lifestyle and would have loved it when I was a kid.

The Top End is such a beautiful place, and waterholes are my most favourite place of all. I am so lucky to be living among such beautiful flora and fauna and feel inspired constantly.
