Judith Mehr

Judith Mehr was born May 5, 1951, in San Francisco, California. In 1969, she received an art scholarship to Brigham Young University and graduated with a BFA degree in 1974. By 1978 her career included illustration and portrait commissions from the LDS church and other private and corporate clients in Utah. She began to achieve a reputation for portraiture and genre-scenes and has exhibited oil and watercolor landscapes, still-lifes, and genre scenes in galleries and arts festivals. Commissions for the LDS church include a 74-figure mural of “The Eternal Family through Christ” for the Family History Library, and twelve medieval court-life murals for the restoration of the Hotel Utah, now known as the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. In 1990, Judith also had a landscape painting “Morning in Zion” included in the National Arts for the Parks 100 juried show. Judith continues to be highly active in art creation and exhibition in Utah. Her work can be found in government, corporate, and individual collections across the United States and in Japan.
