Elspeth Young
From College of Fine Arts and Communications
Elspeth Young's oil paintings express her lifelong fascination with capturing not only the human form, but the wonder of nature. Since graduating from Brigham Young University in 2003, she has worked fulltime as an artist, and while a diverse range of commissions has given her experience in various media, she now concentrates her painting primarily on religious art, in which her natural talent, exhaustive research, and craftsmanship are exemplary.
She also contributes to every facet of The Storybook Home Journal, which regularly features her photography and music, as well as her skill as a graphic artist.
In 2008, Young was a guest artist during campus Education Week. She met with fans at the BYU Bookstore, autographing her work.
In 2009, Young illustrated Women of the Old Testament, a book written by her former religion professor Camille Fronk Olson.
