Happy Birthday, Frida!

 
Frida Kahlo would be 115 this week. 
The Mexican activist and artist was born in 1907 in Coyoacán, Mexico. A vocal leftist and supporter of the Mexican Revolution, Kahlo is most known for her self-portraits, as well as her fashion, deliberately mixing Western and indigenous styles.  
 
"Young Freida": old photo & digital.

5 things to know about the Mexican artist. 
 

1. She was extremely proud of her Mexican heritage.

2. She started painting after a life-threatening accident.
