David McCullough American (20th / 21st Century) Mysterious Traveller Series, #72 Quanta, Stepping Up, 1980 acrylic, mixed media on canvas signed, dated, titled verso. Born in Springfield, MA, David McCullough has made art and music all his life, earning his B.F.A. in painting and printmaking at the Kansas City Art Institute, and an M.F.A. in painting at the California Institute of the Arts. He gained a second M.F.A. in art and technology, at the University of Texas, Dallas, where since 2007 he has been on a Ph.D. track in Art and Technology. He lives with his wife and four sons and works primarily in Dallas, TX, with frequent trips to the Four Corners area and farther reaches such as, recently, Australia and India, courtesy of invitations to be a visiting artist or participate in projects. McCullough has developed his unique and innovative art-making techniques to express his Taoist philosophy, broad musical influences, studies in quantum physics, and experiences in nature. Watercolors, drawings and poetry are made during his visits to sacred sites which will later be woven into what he calls “geomantic order” in his finished art. 40 1/2"H x 53"W
