Minerva Teichert (August 28, 1888 – May 3, 1976) was an American painter notable for her art depicting Western and Mormon subjects.
As a young child, she was once asked if she was famous. Teichert said, “No, but I will be someday.”
Teichert was a pioneer in Latter-day Saint artwork. She insisted…..
“I must paint.” She wrote in her autobiography, “I want ... to be able to paint after I leave here. Even though I should come back nine times, I still would not have exhausted my supply of subjects, and one lifetime is far too short but maybe schooling for the next.”
