Faculty

Art faculty at Luther teach, practice, exhibit, write, and lecture with the understanding that artistic inspiration is a product of hard work.

Their primary goal in studio work is to challenge each student to develop both conceptually and technically, using art history as an resource for the understanding and creation of art.
