Soren Edsberg

Soren Edsberg (born Søren Edsberg, 1945) is a Danish-born American painter. His work has been highly praised by Alexandre Cirici Pellicer.

He was the son of Knud Edsberg who was also a painter. First Knud and then Soren joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1961.

Many of Edsberg's works are of farm animals. He has also made several abstract works, including ones in which he inscribed verses of scripture on the art work. One of his more widely acclaimed works was entitled "The Course of Life".

Edsberg is married to Johnna, a convert to the LDS Church whom he met while she was studying at the Royal Academy of Music in Copenhagen. They have seven children.

In 1987 Edsberg immigrated to the United States and became an adjunct professor at Brigham Young University. He also was involved in producing videos for educational and medical purposes. He also operates the Hope Gallery of art in Salt Lake City. He also operates a branch of the gallery in Provo, Utah.[1]
