David Linn - painter - http://www.davidlinn.com/

Lance Larsen - poet -
His book of poetry, In All Their Animal Brilliance, is genius. One of the best I have ever read.

He is faculty at BYU. http://mormonlit.lib.byu.edu/lit_author.php?a_id=1545 He could be a porn star with that stache.

While it is tempting to make this thread one big joke, I ask you please stick to the stuff that you would recommend. Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to you DDD.

Terry Tempest Williams.

MOFOE's should like her.

My wife studied theater and art history in college.

We own absolutely no Mormon art or Mormon art books in our home. So I cannot make any suggestions in this thread.

However, since you want to keep the tone serious, you may want to identify the genius that did your avatar.

I like Arnold Frieberg's football paintings.

Some of them like the football pictures and the Prayer at Valley Forge are famous outside Mormonism.

If we are counting authors, I admire the novelist John R. Neeleman. He is one hell of a Mormon author.
