What if your own life could be the biggest inspiration for your art?
That’s something we explore often inside the Authentic Muse Membership—and this month, we’re looking at how the incredible Frida Kahlo did exactly that.
What if your life—with all its beauty, complexity, joy, and struggle—was the very thing your art was waiting for?
Inside the Authentic Muse Membership, we explore this idea deeply. Each month, we look to artists who didn’t just create stunning work—they lived their art. They used their experiences, emotions, and daily surroundings to shape powerful, personal visual narratives. One such artist is the incomparable Frida Kahlo, whose legacy reminds us that art isn’t something separate from life—it is life.
This month, as part of our Muse Book Journey and Stage Two of the membership (Abintra—inspiration from within), we’re diving into Frida’s world. We explore artist legacies inside the membership and how that can help you build your own meaningful creative body of work.
Frida painted herself over and over—not from vanity, but from necessity. She painted what she knew: her body, her pain, her passion, her culture. And in doing so, she made art that still speaks across generations.
When you see how artists like Frida transformed ordinary moments or deep personal challenges into extraordinary creative expression, it opens something up in you. It gives you permission to create from your truth—even the messy, vulnerable, beautiful parts.
Inside the Muse Book Journey
The Muse Book Journey is a reflective space inside the membership that helps you build your own creative legacy. Inspired by artists like Kahlo, we learn their practices to uncover thei unique voice inside.
It’s not about being perfect or polished—it’s about being real, intentional, and connected to why you create.

Art Begins Where You Are
Whether you’re sketching in a notebook or painting on a large canvas, we help you see that your life is already full of creative material. Your memories, your rituals, your surroundings—even your pain—can become brushstrokes, textures, and symbols in your art.
We guide you to:
- Create daily or weekly art rituals
- Reflect through journaling and visual prompts
- Use symbolism from your own world
- Build a meaningful body of work over time
In the membership, we believe your story, your surroundings, and your experiences all matter—and they can become powerful sources of inspiration. Our Muse Book Journey, part of Stage Two: Abintra, is where we explore that. We help you build a body of work that feels real and personal to you.
The Invitation
