Friday Kahlo was a brillant, courageous artist who lived a life of pain.....and whom so honestly and openingly shared that pain with the world.  Today, her paintings are being used to help people suffering with pain... so that they may learn how to get in touch with their thoughts and emotions. I believe in the power of art therapy....... to learn to pull your mind away from the pain and distract it with whatever soothes you.... and to make the time to do this every day, for yourself. Quotes by Frida Kahlo "I must fight with all my strength so that the little positive things my health allows me to do might be pointed toward helping the revolution. The only real reason for living." "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, and because I am the person I know best." "My paintings carries with it the message of pain." I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration."
