art is a depiction of the gods within us

That title came to me as I was driving this morning. Art shows us god(s) and godly things. It's not always pretty--after all, if you believe the universe was created by some god, you probably believe the same god created the ugly things as well as the beautiful ones. This simple truth about art is why I feel so blessed to work in a creative field and to be able to create art (on the good days) and collaborate with some truly inspirational artists--Kat, Scott, Brooke, Dave, Stuart, Justin, so many others.... I get to spend a lot of my days viewing the divine, both as it exists within me and as others see it. What a treat.
