We are to be a light in the darkness. Here are some verses that express it beautifully.

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See the darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." Isaiah 60:1-3

"you will be a crown of splendour in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God." Isaiah 62:3

Key words: glory and splendour.
Often we can interpret these to mean beauty. We are to bring the beauty of the Lord into these dark places, and this will bring joy and rest to those who see.

God has made each and every one of us beautifully, intricately, such attention to detail.
God himself is described as beautiful, so don't think that this beauty is only for women to share.
Man and Woman was made in the likeness of God, so we express different aspects of Him and different aspects of His beauty.

So notice that there is an overlap in the beauty of creation, how you're made ,"fearfully and wonderfully made", and you're purpose (particularly) as artists to express that beauty.
See how well suited you are for the destiny God has set out for you.

See how his glory rises upon you, and it becomes your light, to be shared with others. You are called a crown of splendour in the Lord's hand. Take delight in that. Shine bright guys. Shine bright.
