My Great Grandmother was full blooded Indian and even though I was very young I remember how uncomfortable she appeared around some of my grandfather's own siblings. I didn't understand the racist remarks then but I knew something was terribly wrong with how my grandmother was talked to just by the tone of voice people used. I made me cry and hang on her leg.

I have had a weight problem most of my life and it has been a problem. I have an eating disorder. I am an over eater. I don't throw up or starve myself but I over eat all the unhealthy junk because it's usually faster and cost less..that adds to the reasons for the obesity...I look in the mirror and wonder who that woman is because I don't feel like I look I feel like this woman..free and comfortable in my own skin.

These Drawings were not only a good exercise but were a stress reduction. I like adding the simple background colors and text to just add a little extra something to the piece.

Personal drawing creating a body of work leaning towards spirituality.
My drawing was then taken into photo shop and given a touch of color.

Book Cover

Carolyn Tucker's drawings, paintings and photographs put into an 8 page book.
This cover/drawing....was a done from the book "Drawing on the right side of the Brain" I turned the book upside down and drew one of my favorite drawings. I then took the drawing into photo shop and took it to the charcoal and changed it further for my cover.

My Cube Guy...Hairy little guy!

So this is my cube guy. It was fun and it would be fun to see them all together displayed. I think that there was a lot of difficulties this term with the computers and I have some additional challenges but all in all I think I over came a lot of fears and just made things happen.
