Nicholae Tucker

Born. Country of Origin British Guyana, South America,
Due to a politically changing country moved with parents to the United States.
At the age of 5yrs I was influenced be my father's interest in art, watching and observing the applications of oil to canvas. I was given a simple anatomy book at that age and mimicked what I saw with alterations to make it more appealing to my imagination.
Famous influential artist include ( the masters ) Micheangelo, Davinci, ( post modern ) Adolphe-William Bouguereau, ( modern ) Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo and James Mathewuse who I met and became friends with. He gave advise on techniques used in his personal works that were quite different from his commercial pieces.

First school in South America, Stella Maris Roman Catholic
Primary School.
USA, enrolled in an adult art school at the age of eleven, was dismissed a short time after for disrupting classes due to frustration of the teacher placing more emphasis on tracing and not enough on developing skills of drawing and sketching. Every angle of manipulation to the canvas since has been self-taught, including sculpting.
My passion for art is innate and purposeful, completing one piece at a time, works can range in sizes from 3" x 5" to 15' x 30 foot.
