I'm not particularly religious. Likely, I'm in the bottom ten percentile of Catholicism. I'm told that God loves us all beyond what we accomplish or destroy in life, so that's positive.
Getting into iconography was my wife's idea. She wanted to get me out of the house. I write or paint icons with a small group, so I do get some interplay with other artists, mostly swapping corny jokes.
I also get some time handling a paintbrush, which is way different from a pencil, pen, or stylus. Slowly, stroke by stroke, I'm learning to lay down paint. Orthodox painting does limit design, but not creativity.
