Homage to Frida: Stained Glass


I have just worked on a charcoal drawing of Frida Kahlo, as a study for an homage I will be creating this semester, as a stained glass assemblage. This charcoal drawing is 22 x 28" and references a 1931 black and white photograph taken by Imogen Cunningham. I will reference one of Kahlo's self portrait paintings for the background composition. I haven't decided how large the stained glass assemblage will be yet, but probably 20 x 40".

This homage will fit into my meta-narrative on women artists.
