Frida Monarch

Christine McConnell is an Australian artist. Her interests as a teacher, drug and sexual health resources writer, hiv/aids policy adviser, and counsellor all contribute to her unique view of this complex life. And this is where Frida comes in.

“Frida is all of us with our ups and downs, our joys and sorrows. She wasn’t perfect, and nor are we. We do our best to enjoy each day yet know that this being human is not an easy task. We do as Frida did; we acknowledge our insecurities and flaws, yet we live passionately creating our own unique life and beauty from it all.”
