Dorothea Redmond (or maybe Claude Coats). Some of her work:

Mary Blair. Disney wouldn't be the same without her keen understanding of color theory.

I'm surprised to see so many Tony Baxter picks when all he is known for is making problematic rides that don't stand the test of time.

Someone said they saw Tony Baxter at Knott's berry farm yesterday
Tony is a huge fan of Knott's and visits there with friends once in a while.
Two of his favorite Attractions there are the Calico Mine Train and of course their famous log flume experience....

Yes, please....and thank you.
Thread win.
Once had the pleasure of viewing one of her original concept paintings up close and in person at Disneyland's Club 33 lounge.
It was pointed out to me during a memorable visit and it's one of many memories from that amazing evening.

Baxter definitely! And for all the reasons mentioned above.
That said, as an artist / painter, Herb Ryman is my favorite.

Pete Carsillo. Amazingly talented. Disney lost him to Universal, where he is now Senior Creative Director. Huge loss to Imagineering.

I was going to say Rolly Crump for his work in 1960's Adventureland and some of the World's Fair stuff.
But then I saw the Dorothea Redmond artwork that @Animaniac93-98 posted, and I'm torn. Impressive!
I knew Ms. Redmond did interiors that were fabulous, but I didn't realize she also did exteriors and structures.

This thread has got me thinking, I believe it's intentional that Disney does not want to have "celebrity imagineers" anymore like Tony Baxter or Joe Rhode. They don't want to pay high salaries and single out their star players for the competition to snatch up.
Scott Towbridge is probably the last one to be named.

That is extremely disappointing Disney would think this way. These people made the company a highly respected company regarding their amusement park quality.

Ya know… sure would be nice if there was a credits list for each theme park attraction produced or an attraction database available similar to IMDb.
I was looking into taking a bus tour of Disney-related locations with him before covid.

Credits are a requirement to receive a Thea Award and included in the event program. Obviously it isn’t every attraction and there are omissions, often with vendors, but it’s better than nothing.
Thea Awards Program
Published annually in co-ordination with TEA's Thea Awards and Summit, the Thea Awards Program contains full descriptions of each awarded project and person from that year's slate of recipients, comprehensive credits lists for each, and a program for the Thea Awards Gala. The printed program...
