Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, McCullough’s roots run deep in the city. McCullough attended Illinois State and earned both his BA and MA degrees in Art. He has taught art and has a passion for doing do.
In a statement referring to his art he made in 2019 he adds,” almost all my sculptures art meant for public works, arcs, circles, variants thereof: these are forms I prefer working with. I like how they stake out boundaries, making connections with what’s-not-there open spaces surrounding you.”
