Chris, I don't know if Rivera was the only source of her problems, after all, she battled the health problems throughout her life from having polio at the age of 6 and a horrific accident that nearly cost her life. The article mentioned that she used her self-portraits as sort of a diary and that she exorcised devastating experiences through the act of painting.
You did not mention if you have done self-portraits as a way of healing what ever ails you emotionally. Any comment?
