"Immaculate Heart of Mary" is a contemporary icon by C D Smith. In this painting he has taken characteristics of traditional iconography and interpreted them with more contemporary styles of painting. The face of Mary was developed from that of the artist's wife and influenced by some favorite icons and other images. The colors were also influenced by iconography. Shapes in the halo allude to celestial bodies, sacred vessels, and botanical subjects; while background elements borrow from Our Lady of Guadalupe. The 8 pointed stars on Our Lady's shoulders and forehead represent her unique relationship with the 3 persons of the Holy Trinity. Her open hand offers us the graces flowing from her heart, and gestures toward the source of her illumination - a Eucharistic host, the Body of Christ, which is the focal point of her existence.

Smith Catholic Art started in 2001 as a response to St. John Paul II's 1999 Letter to Artists and the New Evangelization. It endeavors to answer the call to make visual the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith. "The mission is to create beautiful, contemporary, Catholic art." Art is an interplay with the Creative Spirit. Thomas Aquinas wrote that objective beauty has three components, integrity, clarity, and proportion. In fine art these translate: Integrity - the beauty in quality materials, authentic process, and workmanship; Clarity - the eloquence of idea and purpose communicated by the work; Proportion - good composition, or the well ordered relationships of visual elements."
