Frida Kahlo was born in Coyoacan, Mexico in 1907.

Her father was an artist, and he taught Frida how to paint when

she was a little girl.

When she was 7 years old, she was stricken with polio and had

to stay in bed for 9 months!

That’s when Frida taught herself how to draw. Drawing saves her

from being sad.

The Accident, 17 September 1926

for the rest of her life.

After the accident, Frida found the courage to live

by painting.

She painted the things that were important to

her - special days, dreams, and the world of

her imagination.

When she was in pain and couldn’t leave her

bed, she painted in bed.

"I paint self portraits because I am so often alone. Because I am the subject

I know best."
