Frida Kahlo: Appearances can be deceiving
Frida Kahlo is my favourite artist. Having visited the V&A last summer and been disappointed, I was really keen to see if the exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum would be more uplifting.

Opinion: Bansky Graffiti or Gorilla Art?
While Banksy was in Port Talbot, I went to Brooklyn to find out the difference between graffiti and gorrilla art. I also had a go at creating my own 'tag', 'throw up' and 'piece'.

I don't think I'm in any hurry to take up spray painting but it was fun to try something completely different. It has also given me a greater understanding of a different types of art and I will definitely look to learn more about Banksy. His paintings are often very simple but he blends and shades with black and white really well. I think I will add trying stencilling to my 2019 to do list.
I think mindless vandalism is wrong but I also think there are some amazing artists who need to be given space and the opportunity to follow their passions. I also like the idea of art being free and open to everyone. I particularly like outdoor art. Some of the art galleries I have visited during this trip to New York have been very expensive to visit.
