NEWS!!! MORMON HISTORY ASSOC. SAINT GEORGE, UTAH 2011

HOPE OF THE WORLD PAINTING WILL BE ON EXHIBITION 27-29 MAY 2011


An Extraordinary Event

In the arid desert of southern Utah, August 1877, in the upper room of a white edifice, a remarkable event occurred. The signers of the Declaration of Independence and other eminent individuals from history appeared to a religious leader of the time, Wilford Woodruff. This was their message:

"Do not forget us."

Who were these noteworthy figures of the past?

Hafen (Saint George LDS Temple President), Susan S. Rugh (Professor of History Brigham Young University), and the list goes on!

NEWS: "Hope 1863" Graphite is on exhibition at the 87th Annual Spring Salon

Hope 1863
This is a wonderful little work. I love using graphite as a medium. Dragging a pencil across a new sheet of  paper is a magical experience!  I can actually feel the paper through the pencil. I see lines coming out of nowhere and becoming a new creation .
