You may have seen Laura Erekson’s work at the Church History Museum, on public display in the city of West Jordan, or even at the Smithsonian Museum of Art in D.C. You’ll recognize her work by its found objects, plant materials, and large-scale steel sculptures which she impressively welds herself.

As the co-curator of the Latter-day Saint women’s art initiative Certain Women, very few curators know the LDS landscape of contemporary female artists like Laura. With her wealth of knowledge, paring her list down to just 10 was tough. But ultimately, she settled on drawing selections from two Certain Women exhibitions: Measure of Her Creation and the recent Brave Like Eve.

My Grandmother, Minerva Teichert

She's my maternal grandmother, and after her death in 1976, she became very popular in LDS circles. She has been the subject of articles, theses, lectures, books, videos, and multiple exhibits, with copies of her works appearing in many meeting houses and temples. Forgive me if I use the terms Minerva, Grandma, and Teichert interchangeably.

10 Works You Should Know: Maddie Blonquist

January 29, 2026

As the the Spiritual and Religious Curator at the BYU Museum of Art, Maddie Blonquist approaches her work with both familiarity and discovery.

She recently oversaw the creation of BYU MOA’s Earthbound and Heavenward, an exhibition organized around what Christian tradition often calls a “sacred distance”: the felt space between who we are and who we hope to become. Across more than five hundred years of art, Earthbound and Heavenward traces how artists have wrestled with that distance—and, just as often, how they have discovered heaven pressing close through ordinary gestures, domestic scenes, and quiet acts of attention.
