The Latter-day Saint pioneers are worthy role models for people today. Ong, a successful Chinese-American Latter-day Saint artist has portrayed a friend as the ideal of pioneer womanhood. Dressed in pioneer-style clothes with a sunburned nose, she appears in profile against an arid Utah landscape. This small, gemlike painting has succeeded in uniting the past with the present.
