Luther received his B.F.A. from the University of Manitoba in 1969, his M.A. from New Mexico State University in 1970 and was a lecturer for three years at the University of Regina. All throughout Luther's academic pursuits, he has exhibited in dozens of solo and group shows across Canada. Luther's work is part of numerous private and public collections. Artist's Statement: Geographically, I relate strongly to my roots in the Red River Valley. I see it as a central division of Canada separating the prairie, foothills and mountains of Western Canada from the jack pine and granite of Northern Ontario (Group of Seven country). The natural beauty of forest and lake are an inspiration to me. I like canoeing and fishing. Technically, I admire versatility, and tend toward illustration. Collage and composite ideas appeal to me. My work follows a natural evolution which defines its style. Art for me is a life long process and a magical journey that holds endless fascination.
