Ezra Tucker

Ezra Tucker began his award winning career four decades ago in the field of Illustration. Producing many familiar advertisements and enduring images for a multitude of America's Fortune 500 corporations. The emotion and technical mastery of Mr. Tucker's work defines a life time of accumulated knowledge. Ezra comments, “The intelligence and uniqueness of each creature's individual character and personality often reflect glimpses of human nature and character. My desire to paint Wildlife in a realistic style allows me to also define the beauty that I see in each species. I choose to highlight the variety of color I see in the fur and textures of the surfaces that envelop their being. The challenge I have for myself is to present the beauty and majesty of the animal world in dynamic form to help influence the preservation of our planet’s varied species through my representation of their nature through my art. "The focus of my art is to excite and engage people into developing a visceral understanding of the vital importance animals play in our living planet" states Tucker. Ezra believes that all Life shares a sacred commonality linked by survival. Today, Mr. Tucker's work can be found in international museums, corporate and private collections. Ezra was recently spotlighted and honored as the Featured Artist at the 2017 Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston, South Carolina.
