"Self-portraits are really powerful to see and even more empowering for the artist to create. I wanted to explore how I personally interact with beauty standards," said Caelan Watson, Lasell alumna and current graduate student.

Caelan graduated from Lasell with her Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design in 2023 and is currently pursuing her MBA. Opening on March 4, Caelan was one of the many members of the Lasell community featured in Wedeman Gallery's Art/Word Collaborative exhibit: Authenticity.

Titled "Pretty," Caelan was inspired both by the power of beauty that woman wield as well as the concept of "pretty privilege" discussed in poetry by Heidi Becker.

"Beauty standards and the effects of fatphobia/weight bias is a project I've worked on throughout my time at Lasell," Caelan said. "I wanted to include my 'flaws' in a way that made them beautiful, too. This is why I went with such an intense and colorful piece."

Learn more about Caelan's art and the artists from the Lasell community at Wedeman Gallery's Authenticity Exhibit, open from March 4 to March 28. For more information about Lasell's Master of Business Administration at https://ow.ly/QyIr50VpZq6
