Luke Frazier

Luke Frazier biography

Luke Frazier was born and raised in northern Utah. He grew up in the mountains, hunting and fishing. These early forays into nature instilled in him a kinship with the wildlife and a passion for the outdoors.

As a child he spent hours sketching and sculpting wildlife, displaying an intuitive artistic flair. A graduate of Utah State University, Frazier earned a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in painting and a Masters of Fine Arts degree in illustration. Capturing the majesty and ambiance of Western wildlife is Frazier’s objective, and he describes his work as representational.

Frazier’s wildlife and sporting paintings are in collections around the world. Luke enjoys meeting the people who collect his work especially those who share his affection for the outdoors.

Influenced by such artists as Winslow Homer, Edgar Payne, Bruno Liljefors, Carl Rungius, Rein Poortvliet, Phillip Goodwin, and Bob Kuhn, Luke appreciates the strength of drawing, color and emotion put into their pieces.

Mr. Frazier’s work has been included in the book Leading the West (Northland Press, 1997) written by Don Hagerty, in conjunction with Southwest Art magazine. The book profiles 100 of the best living artists and sculptors working today. Frazier has had feature articles in Art of the West, Wildlife Art, Big Sky Journal and Southwest Art. Luke’s paintings frequently appear in Field & Stream, Gray’s Sporting Journal, Sporting Classics and Alaska.

Frazier’s paintings have been exhibited at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming; the Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Los Angeles, California; the Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, Arizona; the C.M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; and the Kimball Art Center, Park City, Utah.

Among his awards are the Wildlife Art Award from the Art for the Park competition in 1994, 1996, and 1997, recognized on the National Parks stamp.

This last July, Frazier was honored to join 40 other artists at “Wildlife for a New Century,” an international invitational exhibit at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Most recently, Frazier has been invited to the prestigious Prix de West invitational, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. Luke is humbled and honored to exhibit with the most accomplished artists alive. His highest honors are those given by his fellow artists. Luke and his wife Angie have three children and live in Utah.
