279 - Creativity, Anointing & Influence: A Conversation with Simon Bull

Send us a text Marian Wright Edelman said, “You can’t be what you can’t see,” and in my experience, that statement is true on so many levels. I’ve mentored thousands of Christian artists over the years, and I’ve noticed that many of them didn’t have a clear picture in their heads of what it actually looks like to be a Thriving Christian Artist - so they struggled to achieve that goal. That’s actually one of my goals with this podcast - to introduce you to Christian artists around the world who are truly thriving as they seek to reveal God’s glory through their artistic pursuits. And I’m thrilled to introduce you today to my friend Simon Bull! Simon hails from the U.K. but makes his home in California. His bright, vibrant paintings echo natural systems while also surprising and delighting his audience with playful twists and quirks. He was the 2019 official artist for the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C., the official artist to boxing legend Muhammad Ali, and the official artist for the 2002 Winter Olympics. His work is highly sought after and hangs in galleries and homes all over the world.
