Meet The Instructor

Luke Hampton

     I was always "good at art" from an early age. Drawing, painting, sculpting, photography, etc. I never found a medium or creative challenge I did not enjoy. Though, it was not until I was older that I better understood and appreciated the value of art making to provide self-discovery,  discipline, and a means to explore and share our humanity.

Art education was likewise a natural fit and calling. It allows me to stay active in the many artistic areas I enjoy, continue to discover new areas, and, through my instruction, lead students to their own valuable experiences with art making and the creative process. 

I gained teaching and cultural experience from students in the US and China, from kindergarten to college level, through art, technology, and ESL instruction, and various administrative roles. I stay engaged with the contemporary art world through research, venues, and being active as an art handler for my wife, Snow Yunxue Fu, a practicing internationally shown new media artist. After reflecting a great deal on my strengths, interests, and goals, I came to see private instruction as a highly effective platform to accomplish my vision as an art educator, aiming to positively impact the lives of my students, teaching them to think critically and ask questions as they create art, and fostering a creative lifestyle and focus on the process of growing as much as the end result.
