Jay Fullmer, an artist and illustrator hailing from Wisconsin, holds an MFA in traditional illustration. With over two decades of experience under his belt, he has dedicated much of his career to illustrating stories from the scriptures, particularly focusing on the Book of Mormon. Starting with the release of Book of Mormon Battles in 2004, his work quickly gained popularity, becoming the best-selling LDS game of all time. Following this success, Jay went on to create a chess set and another card game, all the while honing his storytelling abilities and artistic vision.
In 2009, Jay embarked on a two-year full-time project that would culminate in the release of Other Heroes of the Book of Mormon in 2011. This undertaking allowed him to create a series of paintings and illustrations that shed light on lesser-known figures from the pages of the Book of Mormon. These pieces make up the majority of the collection available in his gallery, showcasing his talent for bringing ancient stories to life through art. Since joining the Church Education System in 2012, Jay has been producing educational content on YouTube through his Fullmer Gems channel, incorporating his artwork into his teachings.
Most of Jay's paintings are crafted using traditional oils on panel or board, resulting in rich, vibrant compositions that captivate viewers. Alongside his incredibly supportive wife, Jay resides in Wisconsin and takes pride in raising their four grown sons. For those looking to bring a touch of inspiration and beauty into their homes or offices, Jay's collection of prints offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of his remarkable work.
