Born and raised in Colorado, Tucker Eason moved to California to receive his BFA from Occidental College and the Art Center College of Design. With Graphite and Charcoal as his primary medium in undergrad, Eason worked in mural sized portraiture and only after graduation did he begin to experiment with oil. From his studio in East Oakland Tucker explores themes of abstraction, scale, and human experience through his varied portraiture work. Since living in the Bay Area he has various shows including a piece at the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco.
