Frida Kahlo was a painter from Mexico who created bright, beautiful pictures! She painted her feelings and showed the world how proud she was of her Mexican culture. We remember Frida for being so brave and for painting exactly what was in her heart!
Frida loved to wear colorful dresses and painted herself with the monkeys, parrots, and dogs she kept as pets. She used bright reds, yellows, and greens to make her paintings pop with joy and energy.
