For many people who grew up in the church, shame is a constant companion.  If we don’t fit into this perfect mold that is expected of us, we fear that we’re not good enough, that we’re not worthy of the love that God has promised us. So we try harder to be “perfect” - to feel like we are worthy...

The Thriving Christian Artist - February 18, 2022 05:00 - 7 minutes ★★★★★ - 434 ratings
I talk a lot about prophetic art - the idea of creating art with God as a part of our creative process. But as wonderful as it sounds, sometimes it may be easier said than done, especially if the concept is new to you.    We often get caught up in creating FOR God - in creating art that will g...

Years ago, when I was just out of school and looking for a job, a family friend told me that for many opportunities in life, “It’s all about who you know!”  As a young, idealistic college graduate with my newly minted diploma, I wanted to argue - “No, it’s all about what you know and the results...

When I wove my first basket, I literally went “by the book.” I used the same materials, the same weaving technique, and came out with the same basket as a result.  Since it was my first experience with weaving, that feeling that I’d done it properly was key to me creating my next basket, and my ...

NFTs. Bitcoin. Crypto. Blockchain. The Metaverse.  You can barely turn on the news or look at social media without running across one of these terms, and if you’re like me, you have more questions than answers. 😖 And then, what do all of these have to do with art?  How do you sell digital art? ...

320 - 5-Minute Mentoring: Stop Asking Permission to Create

The Thriving Christian Artist - February 04, 2022 05:00 - 6 minutes ★★★★★ - 434 ratings
It all started with a book called “Willow Basketry” that I got from the University of Georgia bookstore where I worked. In fact, I didn’t really think of myself as an artist then - I’d spent more time creating and performing music, not art. But something about that book caught my eye.  I’d nev...

I know sometimes that we creatives can be a little resistant to routines.  We’re free spirits!  We let inspiration guide us!  But over the years, I have realized that having a morning routine spending time with God gives me the time and focus I need to get ready for my day in a way that brings g...

I come from a long line of fishermen.  As a kid, I spent hours out on the lake with a fishing pole in my hand, learning life’s lessons (and how to tell a great “fish tale!”). When you’re fishing with just one pole, you can only catch one fish at a time, right?  If you want more fish, you have t...
