“With the vigor and brushstroke of an impressionist, Luke Frazier has caused a sensation with animal painting that seems well beyond his years,” reported Wildlife Art magazine. This gifted young man represents a new generation of wildlife and sporting artist in both originals and fine art print and his success was immediate.

After an impulsive trip to New York garnered him illustration work for three leading publications -- Reader’s Digest, Field & Stream, and Alaska magazines -- Frazier never looked back. Since then, his first one-man show sold out on opening night, he has had more than a dozen pieces chosen for the Arts for the Parks annual Top 100 and has won the National Parks Wildlife Art Award three times.

Frazier adds about his art, “I grew up fly fishing, exploring, and hiking on high mountain lakes. I also developed an early love for nostalgic paintings so it’s natural that I give my paintings a feeling of the past. I want them to create a mood, evoke an emotion, tell a story, or ask a question.”

Even while studying engineering at Dixie College, Frazier kept returning to his childhood habit of sketching and sculpting wildlife. Finally, he realized that art was his life and transferred to Utah State University where, as a freshman, he won his first competition. Frazier graduated with degrees in painting and illustration, thinking himself lucky if he could make art even a part of his career. Indeed, he has. His success has allowed him to do what he enjoys most; travel, explore, fish, paint on location, and spend time with his family.

“Experiencing the outdoors and having a chance to actually see these elusive creatures is amazing and I want to share that. If you see one of my paintings and feel like you’ve been there and witnessed what I’m depicting, I will have succeeded.”
