Madeline
I’m Madeline! I created Frida’s Flowers to celebrate culture, color, and community. I grew up in Mexico City and Costa Rica. Those are the places where I was deeply formed as a human being, surrounded by vibrant textures & colors, loud laughter, and a community where friends become family. Frida’s Flowers is inspired by those places, and by my grandmother Maria who worked as a tomato farmer as a child and has been creating beauty with her hands ever since.
The Making of Frida’s
Frida used many artistic mediums — including painted flowers — to communicate a disruptively healing message. She wanted womxn to connect with their own brilliance in bold, resonant ways, without permission or authority from oppressive systems designed to stifle them from blooming. Frida’s work made such an impactful mark that to this day it still tells healing stories, bridges communities, inspires aliveness, and welcomes grief. It’s like oxygen for feminist, anti-racist creatives.
Enter Frida’s Flowers. Fierce feminism, decolonized funk, & ancestral connection are the frameworks through which we create. We believe in a world that fiercely celebrates womxn, is full of funky, decolonized art that liberates us collectively into love, and in the empowerment that emerges when we connect with the lives of our ancestors. Frida’s Flowers is an invitation to dance at the intersection of culture, funk, and difference. Yes, through flowers.
