My new artwork "A Love Letter to Frieda and Diego Rivera" is now for sale at my Etsy Shop :)

Just in time for Valentines Day, my new artwork "A Love Letter to Frieda and Diego Rivera" is now for sale at my Etsy shop.

The Altered Art is made out of a candy box in the shape of a heart. The front of the box has an original illustration of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. The back of the box has handmade feather wings. When you open the heart box it reveals an original illustration of a Victorian hand attached to a clothespin holding a "love letter" to the painting by Frida Kahlo. [This letter can be easily removed and you can insert you own Valentine to the one you love! ;)] When you remove the ribbon and open the letter it reveals my love for this painting. This can easily be hung on a wall by it's wire loop, or nicely placed on a plate stand for display.

SFMOMA FB Page "I Love Art" Valentine's Day Contest Entry: "A Love Letter to Frieda and Diego Rivera"

I chose "Frieda and Diego Rivera" created by Frida Kahlo in 1931 on their first visit to San Francisco. I have always loved this painting and make a point to see it every time I visit the museum.
