Luke Buck grew up in Indiana with a love for life, art and nature that is evident in his nostalgic watercolors of Americana.  Traveling the back roads in search of scenic places, Buck will sometimes round a bend in the road, and the setting will find the artist.

Buck has won recognition and numerous awards for his art, including the Purchase Award at the Walt Disney Festival of the Masters in 1996.  He, in turn, often donates his work to causes close to his heart - art for scholarship funds and charitable causes such as TWA's Operation Lift-Off, which sends terminally ill children to Disney World.

Buck still makes his home in Indiana.  His medium of choice is watercolor, with which he creates his inviting landscapes and nature scenes.  Mill Pond has been publishing his artwork since 1997. 

He spends much of the year traveling to art shows all over America and comments, "I try to include the viewer in my paintings.  The viewer is part of my work.."
