The role of an artist is to capture images of the day and bring them to the attention of  members of society to appreciate and to leave a legacy for those who will follow.  The artist captures the ordinary and shows us that it is extraordinary, whether it be a landscape, a building, or people on a street.  They leave a visual history of our day so those that come later can connect with us. 

Ground was broken for the  LDS St. George Temple in November 1871 and the building was completed and dedicated in 1877.  It is a monument to the pioneers who left the comforts of their homes in the East and spread and colonized the west, and as they did so erected monuments to their faith.  Kathlyn Gogarty-Baines – Dix Baines Studio.
