Summary

Art forms an impression on our minds. When we visualize scripture stories, it’s often in the style we’ve seen before through art. It’s easy to picture Nephi’s family on the boat, Moroni praying over the plates, Abinadi before King Noah, and more. But can you picture the women from the Book of Mormon? There’s art for them, too.

Find all the art mentioned in today’s episode at bookofmormonartcatalog.org:

Nephi Protected from his Brethren by the Daughter of Ishmael and her Mother by George M. Ottinger
And They Were Strong by Tehya Vassar
Sariah in the Wilderness by Rose Datoc Dall
Holding Holy Things (Sister of Jared) by Caitlin Connolly
