Morman Murals
What a great way to start the New Year by our appreciation of Nature. These beautiful Nature murals can be found in the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple (photo below).
Some early art missionaries, Lorus Pratt, John B. Fairbanks, John Hafen and Edwin Evans and later Elder Herman H. Haag, set off to learn mural painting from ateliers in Paris and returned in the 1890’s to apply what they learned to paint murals in their Morman Temple in Salt Lake City.
Following this similar missionary goal, artist Linda Curley Christensen along with other faithful workers have used their God-given talents to paint this Nature mural in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. They really reflect God’s creation of Nature their beautiful surrounding mountains.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
