This year, Delbarton is blessed with seventeen artists in the Class of 2021. To give each of these talented young man the audience he deserves, we are highlighting each artist with a quotation from his artist's statement, a sample of his art and a link to his digital portfolio.

Our third featured artist is Morgan Cecil '21 who says this about his art: "Benedictine and Catholic values recognize the importance of art as a means of expressing personal and religious ideas in images. Only through art can a person begin to capture the beauty and love of God. 

As one of the greatest inventions of all time, the light bulb has had a profound impact across the globe in the physical world as well as in literature and art. In the arts, light bulbs symbolize life, innovation, and intelligence. Each bulb has a unique and complex, yet very simple, structure which is meaningful to me because of its symbolic connection to my personal life. In my sustained investigation, I will depict this ordinary, everyday object in a new aesthetic to illuminate its complex metaphorical and physical significance."
