I have a friend that pointed out the fact that in all my blogging about my most intimate life experiences I did not mention God. This is not good as God is a big part of my life. Let me tell you how I came to be a christian artist.
First I was always an artist then I became a Christian so I guess that makes me a Christian artist. Christian artists do not have to paint only paintings of Jesus. You can paint what you always paint only you have a different point of view than before.
Before I was a dark painter. I loved to paint violent, upset paintings. I just did. Then I had a baby and painting a lot of pink and pastel paintings. But they were all kind of drippy and without direction and really pretty crude.
After I met the Lord (it was not like I wanted to get to know Him, either) I kept painting just as before but I felt different. Now I cared whether I was offensive and abusive in what I was painting. I wanted God not be be ashamed of me, so I still did the girls only they were the best I could do. I worked much harder because I saw art as my mission. Before it was just blind energy. Now all my creativity comes from Someone doling it out to me on a regular basis. I still have to do all the exercises to make it come out fast but I do have a constant stream of love that really helps get me through all things.
