I Was Created so I Create

so I wanted my artist statement to not be the same ol boring speil about how great your artwork is.. blah blah.. and instead wanted to tell what my art was about without telling.. and give more of a creative writing/poetry feel. So this is my Artist Statement I have to turn into Proffesional Skills tomorrow night.. and I'm a bit nervous.. It is always scary to talk about God in such a secular area. I feel like art classes are the most intimidating areas that I have to force myself to acknowledge Him.
Anyways, here goes.


"I Was Created so I Create"

On the 2,035th day I was created.
I was created by the first artist of the world.
The Creator.
The Creator who started with a blank canvas.
He who created creation beyond any creative measure.
And I, His creation, am in His own image
and so...
I create.
And I create well.
I create power from a paintbrush.
I create hope from a sculpture.
I create truth from a photograph.
I create irony from a story.
I was born to create.
Not by molding or acrylics,
Not by sculpting or film,
Not by words or lyrics.
I create from the heart and the soul.
I create by empathy not by apathy.
This creativity, this gift
was not given to me by luck
Or by chance,
But by my only inspiration...
And the greatest artist the world has ever seen.
