Frida Kahlo has been a huge inspiration for Toni for as long as she can remember, both in terms of her art and the way she lived; her courage both behind and in front of her canvases.

This is a contemporary portrait painting of Frida Kahlo, someone Toni has been inspired by her whole life. The portrait began with acrylic and layers of collage, with oil paint layered ontop; texture and colour building. An expressive portrait and homage to Frida.

Toni is pulled to paint Frida quite often, in between other paintings or bodies of work. It refocuses her as an artist and feels like some sort of conversation going on from her studio to Frida's! She hopes that the resulting paintings will hold some of Frida's courage and strength for other people to feel.
