Journals By Maria

Maria Levings has loved working with paper and stickers since her college days. She started making Junk Journals in 2016. Since she retired from teaching, she spends a great deal of every day “playing with paper”. 

 

Seeing God’s creation in nature sparks her joy in creating beautiful things. Two years ago she started making prayer journals in order to feel like she was still serving God in her retirement. Knowing she can spread God’s Word and Love through her favorite hobby allows her to “Do something beautiful for God” and hopefully produce “good fruit” in the vineyard.

Mira Byler

I'm excited to announce one of our newest Featured Artist, Mira Byler 🤩
 
I came across Mira on YouTube in a time where I had just started to create again but was intimidated and bogged down by perfectionism. With Mira's positivity and approaches to the art world, she helped me understand it was okay to go through phases with art. She encourages her viewers, like myself, to make art that brings you joy and is transparent about her process, including mistakes and hardships.
 
I was honored when Mira said yes to be a part of Let Love Be My Motive Studio. I highly encourage you to check her out on YouTube and her personal website 🥰

Megan Hale Art

My name is Megan Hale and I am from Alexandria, Louisiana. I currently reside in Pineville, Louisiana. I consider my style as American Scene, focusing on scenes of everyday life that encompass the human condition and experiences. I like to find beauty and mystery in the mundane. I want to depict everyday life around us as a beautiful composition. Everyday life involves all aspects of human conditions and experiences, whether it be joy, pain, anxiety, or comfort. The goal of my work is to depict color and form in an aesthetically pleasing way while evoking a sense of nostalgia and contemplation. I want to use art to interpret the many ways we overcome and grow in our environment and life.

The main subject of my work is scenes of everyday life, whether it be landscape, portrait, still life, or a combination of the three. Before I begin a painting, I search the environment around me to find a pleasing compositional vignette. The process of making my art begins with a sketch, then an underpainting. Since color, light, and shadow are often my inspiration, I will choose a color palette based on the subject and the most prominent colors in the subject matter. This is sometimes an attempt to capture complete realism or can be affected by mood. I have worked with oil, acrylic, pastels, charcoal, and pencil.

By nostalgically exploring the normative environment, I hope to engage the viewers' senses and memories of places, things and feelings forgotten or repressed. I choose these methods as a means to capture our everyday environment and invoke a thoughtful response to these fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed.



Avery's Divine Creations

Hey y’all! My name is Avery Glass, and I am a wife, a (soon-to-be) mother of one, a teacher, and the owner of Avery’s Divine Creations! I began crafting years ago as a positive outlet for the creative mindset with which God blessed me. I most enjoy creating items from resin and paracord such as keychains, lanyards, board games, paint pallets, and so much more! I am honored to be a featured artist in the Let Love be my Motive Studio!

Made By Tay 


My name is Randalla “Tayren” Reynolds, Originally, I grew up in the Glenmora/Forest Hill area. Most of my adult life was spent in Lake Charles, LA. I am married with 3 children. Music and art have always captivated me.
In 2020, my husband gave me a Cricut machine for Christmas. In my downtime, I started making earrings with faux leather for fun. Since then, I progressed to exploring different materials to create with. Now I use real leather, wood, clay, acrylic, and resin for my “shinies”. I love my hobby of jewelry making, and I hope you enjoy it as well! 

Kennan Richard Art

My name is Kennan Richard, I am 24 years old and legally blind since I was 19. I lost my left eye at 9 years old but still learned to do everything I needed to do and graduate high school. After graduation I went to work for a land leveling company as an operator. After 3 months of work I developed a black spot in my right eye, my retina had detached. After numerous surgeries to repair the retina and restore my sight it became stable but left me with very limited sight in my good eye. I struggled for 4 years to find my way in an upside-down dark world. A good friend suggested I should try painting as an outlet. So Visible Arts was started, and soon became my passion to bring color to life from my minds eye.
