Art was an escapism, a way to express my feelings without restrictions. It was a world created from my heart. Art was the only subject I was truly gifted in, the only subject I truly felt right for me. In school, I had one encouraging teacher who provided me with the inspiration to pursue my art dream. I deeply studied moods, Artists and their works. I was fascinated and held in awe by their thought processes and applications. The deeper I delved following my studies of Art, journeyed me to enter the worlds of renown Artists and further inspired me to express my inner feelings as they did. Art is an expression, with no limitations. Be bold, break boundaries. During my time spent studying at University, I discovered that I could combine my passion for art with ‘Theatre & Media, Film & TV, Hair and Makeup’ Artistry. I was encouraged and enabled to explore differing cultures, historical era’s and iconic styles and fashions which I would probably never have had exposure to if it wasn’t for higher education. Throughout my studies and industry beginnings, I have always also been business minded. At the age of 15, I started my own business of ‘Stevie’s SFX’, specialising in Halloween makeup (design and application), which proved very successful with multiple satisfied clients throughout that Halloween season. At that time, self taught, I added a life-casting business to my endeavours by forming ‘Stevie’s Life-casting’. ‘Creating a moment that could be cherished forever by loved ones’ was both my slogan and a truthful reality. I produced many hand casts with my family and as I found each cast  was very sentimentally important to family members and myself, I wanted to share so that others could have something tangible of a moment in time to cherish their loved ones too. Following graduation in Hair & Makeup for Theatre & Media BA, achieving a 2:1! I am now an internationally published Hair & Makeup Specialist for Fashion & Film, with front cover fashion editorials and am enjoying meeting some truly amazing people. Now I am focusing on further professional development and growing my business internationally in the fashion and film industry travelling as a key makeup artist and creating masterclasses and books for others on this journey which would have been so beneficial while on my own learning pathway.

Anything is possible if you believe in it, Stevie Lou x

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
