Viewers can seek refuge in the sanctuary of Luke Steadman’s art. His work is quiet and  contemplative, enveloped in atmosphere and mood. He interprets the beauty and serenity of  nature; forms of rest and solitude appeal to him, symbolic of quiet and repose. Steadman’s  paintings are reflective of his own temperament, which he imparts to the canvas, and the  picture becomes imbued with his poetic message. Many of his collectors say what great  pleasure and enjoyment they get from his work and that a person can’t help but “feel uplifted”  upon viewing one of his paintings.
