The painting is from Harry Anderson (see credits on p229 of the picture
on p224 in the John Taylor Manual). As far as I can tell from a
biography of him [1], he was not a member of the church, but did do
contract work for them:

"In the mid-Sixties, he expanded his religious horizons to include the
Mormon Church, for whom he created a mural for the 1964 New York World's
Fair. It was done in oil paints which he'd abandoned early is his career
due to allergies to turpentine. New thinner products allowed him to
explore the medium again. He produced a dozen more oil paintings for the
Mormons, many of which have been reproduced in one of their publications
entitled the Family Home Evening."

This was probably one of the paints he was contracted to make (if you
look in the credits of the John Taylor manual you'll see he did a lot of
other famous paintings). Because this painting is so well known in the
church, I would think the probablilty of a member having it would be
much higher than the average citizen of the United States (I've seen
this in many LDS households but never in any of the other non-LDS
households I've been in). 

This doesn't prove that she's a member, but when you take into count
that she has that picture and what appears to be holding a quad, I'll
assume she's a member. :-)
