The Kahlo Tree, 2001 Monoprint & Linocut (limited edition) 12" x 12"
Like many artists, I will often revisit an idea. The Kahlo Tree (linocut) is a re-interpretation of a painting that I had done about 5 years prior, and is a tribute to one of my favorite artists, Frida Kahlo. By depicting Kahlo as a tree, I was illustrating my feelings of connection to her (she's the only person, other than myself, that I've depicted as a tree or flower). Her life was filled with pain and heartache, and yet she was a highly prolific artist.
