If I had known before today that he was so fond of Frida Kahlo I would have spent more time talking with him about his studies on her life and work.
San Francisco played a pivotal role in the life of artist Frida Kahlo. It is here that she wed Diego Rivera and befriended Dr. Eloesser who became her life-long confidant. This blog explores the life of Frida and how San Francisco impacted her life and how she left her mark on the City by the Bay. This is a blog written by a San Francisco Bay Area resident who loves Frida.

San Francisco Bay Area artist Rupert Garcia
Rupert Garcia, a renowned San Francisco Bay Area Artist represented by Rena Bransten Gallery has made artwork featuring Frida Kahlo and also presented lectures on her work. In 2004 I had the pleasure of working with Rupert within the Hearts in San Francisco project of which I was Project Coordinator. He designed one of the giant Heart sculptures which was placed in public view during the city-wide exhibition.
