Curator Statement
 
Art and faith are intrinsically intertwined on our spiritual journeys. God calls artists to be his eyes and fingers, hearts and souls – to express the unutterable. We express what must be said, but what cannot be said in words. The artist makes the invisible visible in the world. We shout pain and joy through our art. We express what normally is not expressed, what is hidden – the things that are too embarrassing, too personal, too painful, too joyous to say in public.

God gave us a special gift of creativity to express human pain, sickness, death and broken relationships, but also his grace, mercy and healing, peace and hope and beauty. We do this with oils, acrylic, watercolor, Pearl Iridescent pigment, egg tempera, pastels, pencil, wood, stones, bronze, 24 carat gold, fiber, silk, silver gelatin, emulsion transfer, computer images, digital photography . . . Christian artists are spreading the fragrance of God everywhere because “we are the aroma of Christ.”
