For Christopher Luther creating is just a part of life. Luther has been drawing throughout his existence. He can not recall a time when he didn’t feel compelled to create.

“The earliest memory I have of drawing is when I was in kindergarten. I flipped over my worksheet and started drawing a stick figure, but with squares instead of sticks,” said Luther.

Luther has since progressed from a young boy who had a defiant hatred of working with anything other than his pencil to a versatile artist, mastering multi-media compositions such as “Night Long”, a deco-art portrait of a 1920’s couple dancing under a sky full of lights. Luther has mastered nearly every art style, but he specializes in surrealism. He creates his pieces with hopes of exploring new concepts and portraying bits of philosophy on paper. So far, his work has earned him two awards.

Becoming an art teacher is quite possibly in Luther’s future.

“I would like to teach at the middle school so that I could catch the students at just the right time to get them seriously interested in art, but I would also catch them early on enough to correct bad habits and techniques,” Luther says. He plans to one day further his art education at Savannah College of Art and Design. For Christopher Luther, “a day without art is a day without  oxygen.”
