While sketching the feet of those sitting in front of her at church, Johnson was inspired to wonder about the owners of the shoes. "Who has two left feet? No shoes? Do you see the deacons? Where do you sit in church?" and most importantly, "Who did I leave out, and who should have been included?"

"I wanted to reflect the wonderful diversity of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and God’s love for all of them."
