"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?”

 ~ Frida Kahlo

Influenced by pre-Columbian art and Mexican folk art, Frida Kahlo’s timeless paintings, with their almost surrealistic colors, embody women’s inner strength, a passionate love of Mexico and its culture, and her courage in the face of adversity.  As Mexico’s most important 20^th century artist, recurrent themes in her paintings include suffering and triumph in her own life. Her art recognized the same in the lives of woman in general. Since the mid-1970s, she has been a role model for women in the Mexican American and feminist communities. We pay tribute to this extremely influential woman whose artistic vision forever changed the world.
