Luke is a Melbourne-based portrait artist working in oils, drawn to the challenge of capturing more than just a likeness. Over several decades, he has dedicated himself to refining his style and technique, exploring drama, character, and the interplay of light and dark that brings his subjects to life.

​

His work focuses on a limited number of paintings each year, allowing him to immerse deeply in each portrait. Luke seeks to create pieces that resonate with both strong likeness and emotional presence, revealing the identity and temperament of his subjects.

​

Inspired by the old masters yet guided by a contemporary sensibility, Luke’s work has been exhibited nationally, reflecting a dialogue between classical techniques and modern storytelling. His portraits are not just representations, they are intimate conversations, timeless and evocative.
