Luke is a painter/sculptor/craftsman in
Palatka, Florida.
His work includes contemporary furniture, kinetic sculpture, and surreal
drawings and oil paintings with a focus on portraiture and the human form.
Raised in the fertile back woods of Putnam
County, Luke's
appreciation for undisturbed natural beauty has driven his urge to interact
with human materials in a way that preserves a high aesthetic standard. After
receiving a degree in Fine Art from the University
of New Mexico, Luke has returned to Florida to practice his
craft and now teaches portraiture.
