How Frida Kahlo turned a maid into an artist
Mexican artist Julia Lopez is now a world renowned painter, but she very nearly didn't discover her talent at all. She grew up as a farm labourer in rural Mexico, and found work as a maid after moving to Mexico City. But one day her life changed, when she was scouted by the famous artist Frida Kahlo to become a model. It wasn鈥檛 long before she picked up the paintbrush herself. Outlook's Clayton Conn has the story. (Photo credit: Clayton Conn.)
