Frida Kalho! Tonight all over the Country in fact all over the world artists participated in celebrating FRIDA by offering their Frida inspired art to be shown in public places all over America. What an incredible array of Fridas by artists as young as 2 years old. Go to Instragram and use the #1KFrida and you will be see so many different Fridas you won't believe it; croched Fridas, sculptured Frida, performance art Fridas, assemblage Fridas, every Frida imaginable . 
This event was the brainchild of Washington D.C. artist Theodore Carter www.theodorecarter.com the idea was spread over social media with the following criteria; we show our work of art in a public place on March 25th and we show the hash tag #1KFridas.  Four artists participated in our little corner of Alaska; Judy Vars, Barbara Hunt, Mimi DeGange and Luke Nicholson. We all met up at the Palmer, Deli a well known salon for artists and art lovers, to offer our creations to join the Fridas all over the country, we discussed Frida over good food and coffee we talked about her life, her work, her accident and naturally her sex life. Frida was a fascinating and fierce artist who painted her own sorrows and her joys she continues to inspire others through her art. 
For more Fridas you will have to go find her by using the hash tag #1KFrida. Use Instagram. 

We LOVE YOU FRIDA KALHO!!!
