An unveiling of "Frida Kahlo's Courageous Transformational Life," a vibrant portrait of Mexico's most famous 20th Century woman artist by present-day artist Trina Swerdlow, will be held at the Jennifer Perlmutter Gallery in Lafayette at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 22. Swerdlow will give a talk about the portrait of Frida Kahlo and the inspiration behind her painting.
Like Kahlo, Swerdlow understands how creating expressive art serves as a lifeline during times of personal darkness. "It is vitally important to honor people who have inspired us. For this reason, I am releasing my first painting in the Fine Art Series called Legacy of Light Portraits," said Swerdlow.
Swerdlow is an international bestselling author - "Stress Reduction Journal" (iUniverse, 2005) and "The Grandmother Legacies" (WOM Enterprises, 2017) - a thought leader, and artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Art Center College of Design. In addition to her art, Swerdlow has a private practice in Danville where she offers transformational tools to empower people to create their own "legacies of light" through healthy behavior, creativity, and assertive/compassionate communication.
"Frida Kahlo's Courageous Transformational Life" painting and an exhibition quality Gicl'e print on canvas will be displayed during the 6:30 p.m. gallery celebration at 3620 Mt. Diablo Blvd, Lafayette.
To attend, RSVP by email: jp@jenniferperlmutter.com with your name and "Yes Frida" in the email subject line. For information, visit www.jenniferperlmuttergallery.com.
