How to write an artist statement that glorifies the Lord

How to write an artist statement that glorifies the Lord

The artist statement is a simple and brief summarization about your current body of artwork. It is intended to explain: why you make art, how you made it, what it is made out of and what art means to you.

How can you write about your artwork and glorify the Lord instead of yourself?

When asking yourself the above questions about your artwork, consider how you can give the Lord credit for your talent rather than yourself. Also, consider how the Lord is instrumental in helping you create. Finally, consider what art means to you in terms of glorifying the Lord. By writing your artist statement with these thoughts in mind, you will direct viewers to the original Creator. Which is why you create art any way isn’t it?

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
