My passion for Dia de los Muertos

I had two brother's pass away from a rare disease-see www.myelin.org for more information.  One of my brother's passed on Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is why I am drawn to creating this type of art.  In addition, I have a spiritual connection with Frieda Kahlo (a famous female artist from Mexico).  She had such passion for life and work and used bright colors in her paintings.

Dia de los Muertos is a holiday that celebrates and honor those who have passed.  It is celebrated in parts of Mexico and the US.
