Interesting, polarbear. You listed many things in your post that have been brewing in my head but haven't coherently risen to the top. For example, the link between visual spatial and creativity; sensitivity and empathy that come with giftedness and how they influence the way a child perceives and depicts the world around.
Glad to find out that your dd's artistic ability keeps getting better. My dd also enjoys painting and drawing and her creations are getting more complex and beautiful by the day. Hopefully, she will continue to go to it as a source of joy and solace into her adulthood.
