ashley g. tucker graduated from Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama with a B.A. in Interior Design and a Minor in Art in 2008. Before graduating, she had the opportunity to contribute to the community through her passion for art and design. Her projects included stylized house renderings and admission of paintings on display at the Birmingham Art Collective and Active Culture gallery. From there, she was given the opportunity to design the exterior and interior of a hip and trendy American cuisine spot located in the heart of Birmingham. Soon after, she began working for a high-end outdoor furniture manufacturer. Beginning as a design intern, she experienced the odds and ends of furniture and industrial design, which led to her inspiration for her senior thesis, a 12,000 square foot showroom relocation inside The Merchandise Mart, Chicago Illinois. The project grew into a reality, as she was promoted to Visual Creative Designer, completing the scope of the work for the showroom while also moving to Chicago in 2008. Since then, she has been working on starting her own business in Chicago as a freelance interior designer and artist with hopes to share her aesthetic with the city.
(AGT: art for everyone) it’s about creating pieces of art that can make an impact for everyone. It’s not necessarily about a collection of pieces, but individual and unique pieces that can stand on their own. I enjoy allowing the viewer to determine their own way about each piece – the picture lives only in the imagination of the one who is living in it. I have always painted what I’ve seen and search for any form of inspiration on a daily basis. It’s not the search, but the find that needs to be shown. Most of my inspiration spurs from my daily walks around the city, mentally photographing the forms around me until unloading them onto the canvas. I hope to broaden my vision as each new piece of art is created.
“While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas. Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space…” -Pablo Picasso
