Mac Mcdade

Biography

I started drawing at a very young age and art was the only subject I enjoyed at school. I used to draw movie stars from the old Photoplay and Film Review magazines in my teens. I joined the Royal Navy at 17 and since then my art took a back seat as work and life got in the way. I recently returned to it, after over 30 years, and have rediscovered my passion for it. I started using different mediums, trying acrylics and watercolour for the first time and I’m loving it. I’m a self-taught artist and am learning more and more every, time I put a pencil, brush or stick of charcoal in my hand.
