Photo #3 of my Series " The Tragic Life Of Frida Kahlo"
The injuries from the accident cause permanent damage and prevented Frida from carrying a child due to multiple medical complications. Though she conceived three times, all her pregnancies had to be terminated.
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo's drawing, 'Appearances Can Be Deceiving' ('Las Apariencias Engañan), is the namesake drawing for the Kahlo exhibit at San Francisco's de Young Museum. The titular motto ("appearances can be deceiving") is written in Spanish under the self-portrait near Kahlo's signature. The phrase is an apt one for such a portrait, which shows the artist standing in a green dress, purple hues outlining her body. Despite the presence of the dress, Kahlo's body shines through suggesting that what we see is not quite what we get. A red undershirt and green boxers are visible underneath the dress, and translucent enough for a brown pubic mound to be seen at the junction of her thighs. Blue butterflies cover her left leg. A dark corset confines her torso. A white rod runs parallel to her spinal cord, a reference to where her three vertebrae were broken years before from the metal rod of a streetcar.
Here is an homage to one of my favorite and most-respected artists. The Frida image has been attached to a brass disc with resin. I have also used gold leaf, eggshell, more resin, artist's glitter and mica to achieve the levels and depth in the centerpiece. She is securely riveted to a vintage filigree which boasts a Swarovski crystal dangle. The asymmetrical chain is brass and copper-plated brass with vintage brass beads as accents. A lobster clasp secures the 18" chain. I am a trained silversmith and have constructed this piece to give a lifetime of adornment and enjoyment. One of a kind!

Frida and Diego: Love and Revolution
Art Gallery of South Australia
Portrait of Frida Kahlo painted by 'Pengo', a member of Ex-Vandals, on Lilac Alley in the Mission District of San Francisco.
Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was one of Mexico's greatest artists and the wife of artist Diego Rivera. Born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderon in 1907, she began painting shortly after she was severely injured in a bus accident in 1925.
Lilac Alley is a two block long alleyway that stretches from 24th Street to 26th and is sandwiched between Mission and Capp Streets in San Francisco's 'Mission District'. It's one of those places that serve no purpose other than the backs of businesses and the entry to garages. Perhaps a decade ago, several organizations began using the buildings in the area as canvases in an effort to take back what had become an urban blight and return it to the people for their enjoyment. Today, it has been transformed into a public art gallery for local residents and visitors from all over the world.
