⭐Glow up - transformation for the better 😍 Tbh I feel my art & I are constantly evolving & growing BUT there was a big shift for me when the pandemic first hit. With all my work put on hold there was space to create freely, without limits & totally be myself in my art. This resulted in creations that led on to multiple opportunities! 🙌 💕It sounds cliche to talk about being brave, following your heart & being yourself but that's largely what made this transformation / glow up happen & be so successful. 💕 For a while I had dulled myself down creatively to not be 'too different' & to fit more neatly into existing boxes. Coming back to creative freedom & totally embracing my authentic self in my art was / is so liberating, exciting & benefits my work a lot. 🙌 😍Here are photos of me last year at the 'Euro Celtic Art' exhibition in Lorient, France. I was asked to represent the Isle of Man which was a huge honour and involved solo exhibitions from each of Celtic nation artists which formed the overall exhibition. Sat in my exhibition room surrounded by my recent work & lots of visitors, I was heightenedly aware of the big positive impact my 'glow up' has & is having! 💕 I hope you're having a good start to the week x 💕⭐💕⭐💕 Thank you @joannehawker 💛 for Day 20 Glow up #marchmeetthemaker #marchmeetthemaker2023 A big thank you to @arts_council_iom @culturevannin @visitisleofman @mannin_fil & @festivalinterceltiquelorient for your support. 🙏💫💕 [Image Descriptions: Photo of Beth Louella with a painting behind her and photos of her exhibition space with paintings on display plus the exhibition venue.] . . . . . . . . . . . . #beth_louella_art #artist #behindthescenes #artistsofinstagram #artofinstagram #bipocartist #authentic #followyourheart #art #selfie #isleofman #pandemic #colourful #positivevibes #exhibition #joy #fridakahlo #betruetoyourself #artvsartist #inspiring #nativeamerican #faithoverfear #ukartist #colour #americanindian #bebrave #paintingvideo #happy https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBVVQ7MhzR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
