10 Works You Should Know: Nicole Woodbury

Written By Veronica Harvey

As a celebrated sculpture artist and co-curator of the Latter-day Saint Women’s Art Show Certain Women, Nicole Woodbury’s perspective on Latter-day Saint Art has a unique vantage point.

To curate her list of 10 works, she drew selections from Certain Women’s recent exhibition “Brave Like Eve.” Nicole writes:

"The belief that Eve was wise—and that her decision to partake of the fruit should be celebrated rather than denigrated—is unique to the Latter-day Saint faith. We believe she foresaw that humanity would not exist unless she and Adam partook of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and that she trusted explicitly in the Savior’s atonement.

“Many of these pieces, created from the previously unexamined perspective of Latter-day Saint women artists, feature themes that amplify one another. In my selections, I sought to group these works in a certain order to highlight their collective impact. These pieces further the veneration of Eve by portraying her decision-making process and analyzing the aftermath of the Fall."

Xiaomei looks crestfallen. Didi tears off his military patch, leaving a line of stitching in its wake.


Look, we’re lowlifes. We always were, and we always will be. So were our parents, and our grandparents, and our great grandparents. There’s no point in trying. So let’s just be good at being lowlifes!

He laughs and raises a toast. Xiaomei doesn’t react. Da Ge watches her as he absent-mindedly toasts.

My Grandmother, Minerva Teichert
My Grandmother, Minerva Teichert

I'm going to try to tell you something you haven't heard before about 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.

Mormon Easter

Circular folded tables, white tablecloths, and textured walls are materials common to most Latter-day Saint chapels, but here Rupard uses them to visualize a scene from the New Testament, where the stone is rolled away from the sepulcher made to reveal Christ’s empty tomb on Easter morning.

To Think About Jesus
To Think About Jesus

What art do you keep in your home that reminds you of Jesus Christ?

For this Easter season, we invited a few friends of the Center to reflect on that question by sharing a work of art that lives in their everyday space and to tell us why it matters to them.
