The following works are based on the premise that good art portrays what is truly beautiful. This idea is opposed to current notions that art is about the self-expression of the artist, or that art is a tool to force social change. Instead of purely subjective goals, art’s primary goal should be to convey beauty, which in turn points to a higher, objective good. As art expresses this reality, it pleases the eye, engages the mind, and moves the soul.

Whether a simple sketch or a fully developed oil painting, the works below strive to express beauty in a variety of forms.
