Minerva Teichert is arguably one of the most recognizable names in the world of LDS art. Born in North Odgen, Utah in 1888, she was the daughter of Idaho farmers and granddaughter of Mormon pioneers. Teichert's first introduction to fine art came as her worked as a nursemaid in San Francisco. While there, she visited the Mark Hopkins School of Art, which opened her eyes to the world of art. After she graduated from high school, Teichert passed the Idaho state teaching exam, and taught in rural schools for several years, while she sent money to her father who was on an LDS mission, and saved to go to art school.
