"I paint My Own Reality"
                           -Frida Kahlo

     IN WONDERLAND

     was a recent art exhibit at the LACMA featuring the works of Women Surrealist Artists who through their art explored past the impossible to discover the sensitivity, creativity and vivid colors of their inner worlds.  LA Painted Lady was inspired by these women artists of the United States and Mexico who followed their passions, dreams, visions and emotions to create from that unique place.  What does it mean to be an Artist?  A woman Artist?  A Surrealist?  Artists featured in this exhibit pushed past boundaries to create something truely new.
