David Clayton

David Clayton is an artist, writer, and teacher who grew up in England and is a graduate of Oxford university. He is the Provost of Pontifex University and Artist in Residence at the Scala Foundation, and has an international reputation as a painter, with major commissions in both the UK and the US.

Mr. Clayton is the founder of Claritas: The Journal for Catholic Culture & Arts, the newsletter and publication for Pontifex University, and is a regular contributor to the New Liturgical Movement website. In addition to his writings, he has published two books about the connection between sacred art, culture, and their connection to the liturgy.

Professor Clayton is also the creator of "The Way of Beauty" which is about the culture in the broadest sense of the word. It is therefore, about how we live our lives in every aspect. It is a way of life. To help people understand the Way of Beauty, Professor Clayton created thewayofbeauty.org to help illuminate the faithful through its articles, media, and advertised courses which focus on inspiring devotion to and guidance on the Way of Beauty. The Way of Beauty's articles are featured on Claritas.
