Tucker Smith: A Celebration of Nature

(Softcover, 2020) "Tucker Smith: Celebration of Nature", a retrospective exhibition organized by the National Museum of Wildlife Art of the United States. Guest curated by B. Byron Price, Director of the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, University of Oklahoma.  The exhibit, showcased in this volume, features paintings spanning the entirety of Smith's career, from his early years as a professional artist to his most recent work.  The exhibit and catalog present the breadth of subject matter he has tackled, including western wildlife, camp and cowboy scenes, straight landscapes, a few foreign locales, and one railroad painting (another subject for which Smith is highly regarded). Altogether, the pieces highlight an accomplished artist who has dedicated himself to sharing his passion for the great outdoors, one who is truly celebrating nature with every painting he creates.  Tucker Smith spent his early youth on a small farm outside of St. Paul, Minneso
