Remember Your Creative DNA and Deepen Your Expression When Author and Artist Christopher Miller Reviews Key Concepts from his book, “The Spiritual Artist” in this Art Spot Workshop at the Artisan in Santa Fe.
In this workshop, Artist and Author Christopher J. Miller introduces his book “The Spiritual Artist” and some of its key concepts. Through various exercises and discussion, Miller will lead participants through a casual Intentional Meditation where they’ll rediscover their Creative DNA and why they do art. The workshop includes mini breakouts for discussion with other attendees. You will walk away from the class with a deeper understanding of who you are and why you create.
Many people try to describe their experience “in the zone” or “in the flow” during the creative process. Some claim that a Greater Power or Divine Guidance assisted them. But, what is this state of consciousness, and how do we replicate it? In search of answers, writer and painter Christopher J. Miller took the suggestion of his art mentor Virginia Cobb to watch and chronicle his creative process. According to one reader, “Christopher Miller’s book “The Spiritual Artist” deserves a place on your bookshelf right next to The Artist’s Way, The Inner Game of Tennis and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” Miller confirms that our first task as humans is to create, whether painting, raising children, starting a new business, or making dinner.

Artist Statement:
So, you want to know more about me? What makes me tick and all that?
It’s been a journey, let me tell you. Almost fifty years ago, just before I entered my teens, I had a very traumatizing experience with a Carnegie Mellon art teacher and was shamed in front of a thousand peers. (And when I say, 1,000, I am not exaggerating.) The result? I walked away from my artistic gifts. In my late teens, when I realized that I was gay, I walked away from the Catholic Church and my faith in God. Always a loving person, I found their rejection unacceptable.
It wasn’t until many, many years later that I healed from those two experiences and returned to making art and believing in a Greater Power. It was through the creative act that I rediscovered myself and my meaning. I published a book called, “The Spiritual Artist” to remind myself how to reconnect to Spirit through practice. My journey reaffirmed my connection to others and my desire to help them find their inner calling. I would call it my Greater Purpose.
I love to make art and I continue to discover new aspects of my unique Creative DNA. When I create, I most fully align with Spirit. I invite you to read the book, listen to my podcast, and remember your inner Spiritual Artist. While we celebrate our differences of heritage, ethnicity, sexual orientation, family, and culture in our physical manifestation we also can recognize that we are one in Spirit. Honor your individuality but celebrate your spiritual connection. And remember, you are a Spiritual Artist.
