God is constantly creating, in us, through us, with us, and to co-create with God is our human calling. In a way, we are all artists. It doesn't matter what our medium is. Creativity exists for the gardener and the cook, as much as it does for the painter, musician, or writer. The process of making art, at its best, takes on the quality of prayer.
Creativity is a spiritual experience.
We lose track of time. We feel the power from God that is greater than ourselves. It is a labor of love. As artists we strive to put our every day selves aside and listen closely to the heart. Then, and only then, can the unseen part of ourselves become manifest in our work, and the work take on a life of its own.
