Is AI the End of Christian Art? The Debate Dividing Artists | Creative Director Scott Usher

We sat down with the Creative Director of Havenlight to unpack one of the biggest conversations happening in Christian art right now—and it’s not as black and white as you think.

Is AI theft?

Or is it doing what artists have always done—learning, borrowing, and building?

Where do we draw the ethical line as creators of faith?

And what does this mean for the future of Christian artists trying to make a living?

This episode gets real about originality, inspiration, and the responsibility we carry as artists representing Christ.

Meet Torgesen:

Torgesen Murdocks’ spontaneous and energetic style, along with a strong color and design sense, have caused her collectors to comment that her art changes with the mood and feelings of the viewer and becomes more intriguing the longer they own each work.

Torgesen Murdock was raised on a ranch in Soda Springs, Idaho.  She sketched and painted to while away idle hours and was always in demand as an illustrator for schools and civic groups. She attended universities in Hawaii and Utah and graduated from Utah State University in Logan, Utah, where she was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with honors.  She studied with such notables as Alvin Gittins of the University of Utah and Joseph Mugnaini of Otis in Los Angeles, as well as Gaell Lindstrom, Adrian Van Suchtlan, Harrison Groutage, Ovanes Berberian, and Harley Brown.  She went on to work toward a Masters Degree and to teach art for organizations and in private workshops.

This is an honest, hope-filled discussion about faith, therapy, resilience, and trusting God even when healing feels slow.

Meet Tyler:

Tyler’s journey as an artist began early and grew through years of study, including a BFA in Illustration from BYU and a Master’s in Italian with an emphasis in Art History. His love for classical art deepened while living in Italy, where he studied Renaissance masterpieces firsthand. After returning home, he discovered a passion for teaching and now works full-time as an art instructor at his alma mater. Encouraged by his wife to enter juried shows—many of which accepted his work—Tyler began dedicating more time to still life painting. He’s drawn to the quiet symbolism of everyday objects, finding meaning in their simplicity. Today, he lives in Utah with his wife and three children, often painting subjects inspired by the fruit trees in their backyard.
