    “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see” Degas
    Yes, I just googled “quotes about art” and this one stood out. Does Christian creativity help others to “see” God? Does Christian art point others towards Him? Can only Christian art do that! Does the artist have to be a Christian for their work to give glimpses of God?
    Hmmmm….

    Hi, I’m Claire, a born and bred Cornish maid (and proud of it!). I have “adopted” Neil as my brother (he is aware of this but I have no idea if he’s happy about it…). I have also “adopted” another brother called Neil, which makes it sound like I’m starting a collection, but I think two’s enough.
    I’m here because Neil asked me to sign up and I said “OK, then”. I think he’s happy about that, but one never can tell behind that beard!
    Am I a creative person? Perhaps. I’ve written poems. I’ve painted portraits. I’ve started knitting a jumper (it remains unfinished). I’ve done some mosaics. I’ve written very silly comedy skits and songs. But I start these things and after a while I lose interest and move onto something else. I would say that now any creativity comes out in my garden. More on that later. Perhaps. If I’m asked.
    I’m a Christian. I’m married to Mike and have a stepson. I work in a primary school. I have M.E. and autism. I have two cats. Obsessive Marillion fan. Big fan of bees, trees and mint choc chip ice cream.
    Toodle-oo.
