Hey everyone!!! My name is Jada, and I am so honored to be a part of Let Love Be My Motive Studio! I am, currently, a freshman in college hoping to graduate with a bachelor's in biology pre-profesional and, afterward, get into medical school.

From a young age, art has been a passion and a necessity when navigating through life. Even when life puts a hold on my art, I always find time to work on or practice to improve my art.

My favorite art mediums are alcohol markers and mixed media. I can do mixed media, paint (acrylic & gouache), pencil, alcohol markers, colored pencils, and handmade crafts. My art style is a mixture of pop art and semi-realism.

Through my art, I try to establish emotions and symbolism to express a story. Because I believe we all have something we want to express, but words aren't enough to do so.

Once again, I am so honored to be a part of Let Love Be My Motive Studio, and I wish so much growth and development for myself and everyone who comes here!

Hello there! My name is Mark Stanton, and I am a 19 year old trans artist from right here in Louisiana. Growing up, I always felt different from my peers, especially considering I’ve lived the majority of my life in small, rural towns. Being queer and neurodivergent, I wasn’t really all that great at making friends and I was pretty lonely, so I decided to fill my time practicing art from youtube videos of anime drawings. Little did I know those videos would be the kickstarter for my biggest passion and so many great opportunities. When I turned 14, I started taking art seriously, and it led me to what is now my Alma Mater, the Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts (LSMSA for short), where I worked under professional artists for the first time. I knew it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. While I was there I learned so many techniques and tips to make my art better, but most importantly, I found my voice as an artist for the first time. I began the journey of making personal art about my experience as a transgender individual, as well as my journey with mental health and how it has impacted my life. After graduating, I fell into a great depressive episode because I felt lost and didn’t know how to obtain the goals I had set for myself, which is when I stumbled into the Let Love Be My Motive studio for the first time. Immediately I fell in love, and I ended up asking to work there the very same day, which turned out to be the best decision of my life. Once again I was in a place that fueled my passion for art and allowed me to be myself. I’m not entirely sure where my journey with art will take me in the future, but in the meantime, I can’t wait to share my passion and skills with anyone who is willing to listen, and maybe make the world a better place.
