There are some decent Mormon poets (and alot of hacks) but they get no attention.

Terry Tempest Williams is a top-shelf writer and she is sadly almost an unknown in Mormon circles.

Avard Fairbanks is a notable sculptor.

I'm now drawing a blank on Mormon artists. I could list world class Jewish artists for a long time...
Can you link those two?

I've almost never read any quality from Mormons.
