Luke Watson uses painting and sculpture to explore the gap between humans and nature our species has cultivated through civilization. He grew up in Salt Lake City before attending Pratt Institute in Brooklyn graduating with a BFA in painting in 2015. Upon returning west, Luke continued to use his art to explore the landscape and continues to expand that practice as an MFA candidate at Arizona State University.
