Frida Kahlo Coloring Page

Frida Kahlo grew up in a blue house in Coyoacán, Mexico City, called La Casa Azul, which is now a museum. At 18 she was badly hurt in a bus accident, and she began to paint while she was recovering in bed. A mirror was fixed above her so she could paint herself.

Many of her paintings are self-portraits, often with animals and flowers around her. She kept pet monkeys, parrots and a Xolo dog, and some of them appear in her pictures. She wore her hair in braids with flowers, which became part of her look.
