Biography
painter and illustrator, was born in NSW on 22 September 1953. He received his Diploma in Graphic Design from Swinburne College of Technology in Melbourne in 1973. McCulloch describes his drawings, apparently done mainly in watercolour and coloured pencil, as 'quirky realist’, 'their titles, often based on word play ( Salmon Chanted Evening ; Moo with a View ), adapt well to children’s book illustrations’. In 1985-92 he had one show at Barry Stern’s Gallery, Sydney but mostly exhibited at Dempsters, Melbourne. This entry is a stub. You can help the DAAO by submitting a biography.
