In the Doctrine & Covenants the Lord says that all things are spiritual. LDS western artist Clark Kelly Price takes that passage to heart as he says: "The Lord tells us to pray always; everything is spiritual to him."

Price added, "I ask the Lord every day to help me paint the best that I can."

Several dozen western artists belong to the LDS faith, and Santaquin resident Jim Norton, a former president of the Cowboy Artists of America, says that wherever he goes he is asked the question, "Why are there so many artists that come out of Utah?" His answer: "I think it is because of the culture. There are a ton of western artists that come from Utah."
