Check out my latest artwork at michiganartisan.com. I'm an artist that uses camera and digital imaging software to share what is in my heart and in my head. I'm not naive - I know this world has a lot of hard / sad / awful things happening in it, but I have been called to bring a message of beauty. Dostoyevsky penned in his novel The Idiot: “Beauty will save the world.” Pope John Paul II referenced this profound sound bite of literature in his “Letter to Artists”:
People of today and tomorrow need this enthusiasm [of wonder] if they are to meet and master the crucial challenges which stand before us. Thanks to this enthusiasm, humanity, every time it loses its way, will be able to lift itself up and set out again on the right path. In this sense it has been said with profound insight that “beauty will save the world”.
