Luke Marston (Ts'uts'umutl) was born in 1976 to carvers Jane and David Marston. He learned from Coast Salish artist Simon Charlie and then worked for five years at Thunderbird Park at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, alongside Jonathan Henderson, Sean Whannock, Sean Karpes and his brother, John Marston, Luke has exhibited in Canada, the United States and Japan. He has had major commissions from the Canadian government, The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Airport.
