"Lead, Kindly Light" by Simon Dewey |
The Inspirational Art Association is a relatively new group of artists, most of whom live in Utah and are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Malm, 39, said that he joined the IAA when it formed, in 2010, because he wanted to support the idea of a group dedicated to promoting spiritual art. Part of the IAA mission statement reads, "We seek to honor the Master Creator by setting a standard of excellence," and Hewlett said that viewing the world around her as a masterpiece crafted by divine hands is a source of continual artistic energy.
