The Power of Following Your Passion: A Journey of Art and Resilience
FOLLOW YOUR PASSION
No one can take away what is meant for you. If something stirs your soul, let it guide you.
The Journey Behind La Maison Belle
Sometimes, it's not the destination that shapes us — it's the rediscovery of what we once loved. For LCS, the self-taught watercolor artist behind La Maison Belle, returning to art after years away was a journey of resilience, renewal, and reconnection. It's a reminder that your passion can find its way back to you, even after time and silence.
A True Artist’s Journey
LCS’s love for art began early. A naturally gifted artist, she received recognition in national competitions as a young student. Art always felt like part of her future. But in her final year of high school, she was told she had failed her fine arts class — a moment that unexpectedly closed the door to attending art school.
For many, that would have been the end of the story. But for LCS, it was simply the start of a different path. Though she set aside her brushes for nearly two decades, the creative spark never really left. Along the way, she pursued entrepreneurship and continued developing her creative instincts in new and unexpected ways.
The Quiet Return
A spontaneous decision sparked something new. She picked up dollar store supplies for a casual paint night at home. What began as a simple evening activity quickly turned into something much deeper. The feel of the brush, the flow of colour — it all came back. That night marked the quiet but powerful return to a passion she thought she had left behind.
Soon after, she began exploring watercolour — a medium she hadn’t studied deeply in her youth but one that now resonated in a new way. What started as a rediscovery soon became a creative reawakening — not just a hobby, but a homecoming.
Passion to Purpose
With her newfound love for watercolour and a spirit of entrepreneurship, LCS founded La Maison Belle. The vision for the brand was to combine art, sustainability, and passion. Embracing eco-friendly practices, she creates stunning watercolour artworks using water-based inks and canvases made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
La Maison Belle became more than just a business — it is a purpose-driven venture where she merges creativity with a commitment to environmental consciousness.
The Value of Investing in Independent Artists
Supporting independent artists like LCS is about more than buying art; it’s about nurturing creativity and valuing craftsmanship. When you invest in art from independent creators, you support individuality and authenticity, qualities often lost in mass production. Every piece from La Maison Belle reflects the artist’s unique vision, reinforcing the importance of supporting local, independent craftsmanship.
The Art of Reigniting Your Inspiration
LCS’s story is a quiet but powerful reminder: it’s never too late to return to what you love. Dreams don’t expire. Even after years of detours, even when the world tells you otherwise — your passion is always there, waiting.
Whatever makes you uniquely you — your voice, your story, your perspective — is your greatest strength. Regardless of your age, experience, or past setbacks, the chance to follow your passion is always within reach.
Her journey is about more than making art. It’s about making space for what matters. It’s about choosing to reconnect — with creativity, with purpose, and with yourself.
So if you’re feeling stuck or uncertain, let this be a reminder: it’s okay to begin again. What’s meant for you will find you — and when it does, you’ll be ready.
