Do you ever use your art to talk to others about your relationship with Jesus? Here are some of the answers I received from artists who have painted at The Stirring.
Alberto: Not really. A conversation about a certain piece may lead to me sharing my personal testimony. But to be honest... I try to use my art as a way to encourage others to share their spiritual blessings and hardships.
Brooke: Yes. Since my main focus is Cross art and I love to explain my special relationship I have, my triumphs and valleys, etc.
Julie: Yes, I talk about how my artwork is a God thing and that I prayed about what I am painting and how he led me to paint churches to look like stained glass on metal
Jennifer: Only when someone asks about a specific painting, I will go into how it was created through worship.
Mike: The art I have produced for the past several years has been a reflection of my relationship with Jesus. I send my work to a number of ‘unbelievers’ occasionally and sometimes a conversation ensues.
Kevin: No, not specifically but I have replied to questions about where I learned how to draw or paint...and I simply respond that God gave it to me.

I think my "works" speak for themselves, for the most part. My papercuts are often testimony to what God is working in me, what matters most, etc... I would think that most art does portray this, unless a painter/artist is also an actor and good at painting what he is not feeling or what he does not know... I could be very wrong... I am not a painter, but the little artsy stuff i do you can see at http://daysease.blogspot.com/ I found you by your comment on DeeAnn's blog... :-) blessings...
