Frida-Inspired Portraits

I created these Frida-inspired portraits for "Homage to Frida," an art show sponsored by the Wheaton Chamber of Commerce to coincide with the 2021 summerlong exhibition of Kahlo's paintings at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, IL.

My photos capture three women - Bianca Castrejon, Bianca Cahue and Anais Salinas - who represented Kahlo down to her unibrow and bold red lip as part of a seven-hour shoot at the Danada and St. James Farm DuPage County forest preserves.

I led a wonderful collaboration of local talent and resources as featured in this Daily Herald article: 'Just exquisite': Photographer brings Frida Kahlo to life in Wheaton exhibition published on August 5, 2021.

The complete exhibit consists of 15 Lustre Black Beveled Mounted Prints with 1/4" black plastic hanging block. In this online store, you can order a variety of sizes and finishes that best match your preference from mounted to metals to canvas prints.
