Mexican painter Frida Kahlo born in 1907 created striking, often shocking, images that reflected her turbulent life. She became an inspiration of mine just last year when I discovered her works of art in my Contemporary Arts text book. She is not only an amazing talent when it comes to painting portraits of herself, she is also an amazing role model for young woman. She overcame so many obstacles from surviving polio at the age of 15. To surviving a near fatal bus accident which resulted in her being unable to bare children at the age of 18. Although Frida was in chronic pain the remaining years of her life after the bus accident. She did not let it slow her down. Frida Kahlo is the snap shot image of a woman with determination. Looking at her artwork which portrays her turbulent life grounds me and keeps me counting my blessings.
