Luke Steadman graduated with honors from the Ringling College of Art and Design
in Sarasota, FL. He was the recipient of numerous Ringling awards and two national
awards from Artist's Magazine. He subsequently studied at the Florence Academy
of Art in Italy.
Luke endeavors to interpret the beauty and serenity of nature in his work. His
paintings of the Indian River and southern marshes are enveloped in a timeless atmosphere -- a quiet glimpse of the unspoiled nature around us. "For me", says Steadman, "a strong work of art is the result of a powerful
experience, one of deep impressions. I have always been keenly aware of the
world around me, and from these observations, comes my inspiration."
A native Floridian, Luke lives in Vero Beach. He is a Signature Member of the
American Society of Marine Artists.
