Artist Talk // My Art through University, Forgetting Fear & Rituals to build Confidence

[@DrAmantias]

I just came across this video randomly in my feed, and I have to say, what a beautiful display of honesty and vulnerability. I have been struggling so long with what you mentioned about the fear of being seen and judged overpowering the urge to create. It has caused me to hide within myself, to paint what what is conventionally expected, and I have no idea how to return to myself and my personal creative visions.

So happy I found your channel! Love your energy and the road you're on... many of us are in similar, but unique positions, and perspective is everything ❤ Thank you for being so open and courageous for putting yourself, your art and your thoughts out here for all of us.

Fascinating to hear you think, thank you for sharing this video and your work. Your university experience reminds me a lot of mine. I studied fashion design and every year I was completely committed and fascinated by different things- costume design, historical fashion, and recycling textiles and what not. Putting together a portfolio would be very difficult indeed! Continue riding the waves of your creativity, take it as it comes. Looking forward to seeing where you go !

[@laraquinnart]

@@ad_hoc_ist thank you for the lovely comment. I love hearing other people who have followed a path similar to my own. Historical fashion sounds so fascinating to study! What an interesting trajectory your studies have taken you on. I wish you all the best with your practice. It sounds very exciting and thank you for sharing 🤎🤎🤎

[@sarahperkins9604]

I love your vision- so many things you said resonate with me. I’m an artist in university as well, using morning pages, and about to start investigating non- traditional self portraiture

[@laraquinnart]

@@sarahperkins9604 amazing!!! I love to hear this. I feel so many of us are following the same common thread. It’s all so exciting. I wish you the best of luck with university 🤎

[@Puckcherry]

i truly loved this!!! also very off topic but I'm super curious to what lipstick/blush you're using. it's gorgeous

[@laraquinnart]

@@Puckcherry thank you so much and of course! It’s actually a lip balm mixed with eyeshadow. I will double check the name and get back to you!
