How Lovely Was the Morning by Annie Henrie Nader

About this Image:

Oh, how lovely was the morning! Radiant beamed the sun above...When within the shady woodland Joseph sought the God of love. - Joseph Smith's First Prayer, Hymn No. 26

Quest for Zion painting 1 This painting is a triptych of three important firsts- the panel on the left represents Joseph Smith’s first vision in the grove, the middle panel represents the river where the first baptisms of the Restoration occurred, and the panel on the far right represents Joseph Smith revealing the first printed copy of the Book of Mormon. The painting is meant to display the outset of restoring Christ’s church again on the earth, and the beginning of a great quest for building Zion.

About the Artist:

ANNIE HENRIE NADER knew she wanted to be an artist at an early age. She has early memories of painting with her father, a professional artist. Annie graduated from Brigham Young University with a BFA in Illustration. As part of her education, she was able to study abroad in England and Italy. She also served as a full-time missionary in southern England. These experiences, along with recently having become a mother, have inspired much of her art style and religious subject matter.
