Both of the Lukers, Ted and Dee, donated a photograph and two paintings of roosters to be auctioned off in a silent auction for the first annual Rooster Days in York, AL. This event is used as a fundraiser to raise money for the Coleman Center and to promote the arts in the community. The auction was held on October 12, 2002.
Dee Luker and her husband, Ted, both won ribbons in the Sumter County Art and Photography Show this past May. Ted is a digital photographer who uses technology to enhance his photos. The show was hung in the Coleman Center Art Museum. Ted's photo "Twin Torsos" won an honorable mention and a check. Dee's "Iris II" also won an honorable mention along with a check. This show took place in May of 2002.
Both of them also won ribbons in the People's Choice Award Show in the Meridian Museum of Art. This unusual show kicks off with a reception to view the work and the people purchase a ballot. The different mediums are color coded and the pieces that get the most votes in a category win the ribbons. Ted's photo, "Iris Duet" won a 3rd place while Dee's drawing, "Lucy Stretching, Nude 14" won an honorable mention and was also sold. This show was running for the month of June 2002.
Both Ted and Dee were featured artists along with nine other artists in the Southern Accents exhibit in Jackson, MS on June 8, 2002 at the Municipal Gallery. The show depicted art in many mediums and styles featuring Douglas Odam, Jessie LaVon, Dee Luker, and others.
The Southern Accents show was moved to the Alabama Rural Heritage Foundation in Thomaston, AL. Both of the Lukers sold many photographs and paintings as well as drawings at this show. This show hung for the month of July 2002.
In May of 2001, Ted and Dee exhibited in the Sumter County Art
Show in The Coleman Center in York, AL. All the various
art forms competed against each other rather than different
divisions. I won an honorable mention and a check for the
oil painting, "Sunset Sentinel". Ted won the Best In Show and a check for his digital photograph titled "Nude < 1." This was Ted's debut into the world of art and showing.
The piece, "Study of Light and Shadow" was juried into
The People's Choice Award at the Meridian Museum of Art
in Meridian, MS for the June 2001 show. It was one of the few pieces of art work that sold.
Dee had her art showing in Folk Fest 2001 in Atlanta, GA
on August 17-19, 2001. The painting, "Large Torso in Complementary
Colors" was sold by Presidio Gallery from Floyd, VA.
Dee returned to the art world with a debut of a one woman show at the Coleman Center, an art museum, in York, AL. from July 2, 2000 through August 18, 2000. According to the museum director, it produced the largest crowd and the most sales on an opening day.This show was a retrospective of my work from childhood to the present.
