Artist • Bonnie Tucker

Bonnie Tucker’s bold and vibrant collage art is uniquely created by utilizing self-created techniques. Her work is fascinating, very textured, usually three dimensional, and always vivid. Bonnie’s art is comprised of layers of primarily hand painted paper, acrylic painting and found objects.

Ms. Tucker is a retired lawyer and law professor. For the last thirteen years of her legal career she was a Professor of Law at Arizona State University College of Law. During that time she authored several leading books on the subject of disability law and was a visiting professor of law at many other law schools (such as Cornell University Law School and Monash University in Melbourne, Australia).

Ms. Tucker has been totally deaf since infancy, but communicates normally via lipreading and speech. Her autobiography about living as a deaf person in a hearing world, The Feel of Silence, has been published in several countries (and languages). Without benefit of sound, Ms. Tucker’s world focuses totally on sight and feeling. The intensity of that sight and feeling has led to the celebration of visual and tactile effects that is so forcefully expressed in her work. Bonnie’s hope is that people will not just like and appreciate her work, but will actually FEEL her work, as she does.
