I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy as long as I can paint. ♦ Frida Kahlo

For Frida Kahlo, the canvas was both her refuge and her platform, where physical pain and emotional turbulence transformed into stirring visuals. Plagued by health challenges, particularly the harrowing aftermath of a bus accident, Kahlo might have felt shattered, but she found solace in her art. Like her, many artists find a therapeutic release in their craft. As artists, we often turn to our work when life's tumults become overwhelming, channeling our deepest emotions and challenges into our creations, seeking solace and understanding through each brushstroke or sketch.

Kahlo's persistence is a testament to art's transformative power, reminding us that even when life breaks us in unfathomable ways, our craft remains a constant beacon of hope. Her resilience serves as a beacon for artists everywhere, reminding us that our work can be the healing balm to our soul's most profound wounds.

The spirit of artistry is inspiration and creation. We too are inspired by the wisdom of this quote and hope you are inspired by our interpretation thereof, as well as this inimitable portrait we created of Frida Kahlo. Go create!

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
