Mormon Artists

List of notable or famous Mormon artists, including sculptors, painters, architects, photographers and more. These artistic professionals, working in a variety of disciplines, media and styles, are all members in good standing of the Church of Latter Day Saints, and are considered practicing Mormons. Many have been directly involved in representing Mormonism in their work, including Truman Angell, an architect who designed the famous Salt Lake Temple, and Arnold Friberg, an Academy Award-nominated painter who has helped to illustrate some reprints of the LDS Book of Mormon. Other artists have done largely secular work separately from their personal Mormon beliefs.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (sometimes known simply as the LDS Church or the Mormon Church) is the largest denomination in the "Latter Day Saint Movement" inspired by the message of Joseph Smith. The church currently claims 14.1 million adherents around the world, with 50,000 missionaries currently serving worldwide. The church models its teachings and organizations on Joseph Smith's original Church of Christ, founded in 1830.

The Mormon culture that inspired some of these artists is also distinctive in many ways, both because of the geographical center of Mormonism in the Intermountain West and the family-oriented worldview of the church itself. For example, Mormonism's health and legal code, known as the "Word of Wisdom," prohibits the use of tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and other addictive substances, many of which have inspired artists from different faiths or from different backgrounds.
