Artist's biograpy:
William McCullough was born in 1948 and is a native of South Carolina. In 1968, he left South Carolina for the National Academy of Art and Design in New York City. He spent four years figure drawing and painting at the National Academy of Design. He studied under acclaimed realist painters Eric Eisenberger and Daniel Greene. During his time in the northeast, he also had the opportunity to apprentice with Robert Brackman and John Koch.
In the early seventies, he married and moved to the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina where he developed his painterly style of landscape and still life. In 1978, he moved his family home to Kingstree, South Carolina, where a new landscape awaited. Lured by the Low Country of South Carolina, he moved to Charleston in 1989. While in Charleston, McCullough taught painting at the Gibbes Museum Studio School, and earned national recognition for his painting.
William McCullough is an elected member of the Salmagundi Club, the oldest society of professional artists in America. He has won many awards including Best in Show and Purchase Award at the Spartanburg Regional Art Show, Honorable Mention at the Salmagundi Club juried show, First Place at the Pee Dee Regional and First Prize at the C&S Bank Annual Exhibit. McCullough has painted numerous distinguished portraits from the CEO of the Roper Hospital of Charleston, to pro-golfer Tom Watson and the children of media mogul Ted Turner.
Realistic portraiture and poignant landscapes became his trademark, as well as skillfully executed still-lifes. McCullough can be found painting at his studio at 53 Cannon Street Charleston, SC, or at his family farm, or his home in the village of Pougnadoresse, France.
