of five, when the McCrary family attended races at the old Raleigh Speedway.
He attended East Carolina University and worked for several years as a musician
before turning to the full time pursuit of automotive art in the early eighties, with water
color as his medium of choice.
His work resides in many prominent corporate and private collections, and has won
numerous awards at exhibitions and Concours all over the US.
Dan has always been fascinated by a wide array of subjects within the automotive
realm. Whether a painting depicts a rusting relic or a classic so perfect as to reflect its
surroundings in a mirror-like finish, he approaches each with equal respect.
In addition, Dan is a Signature Member of the National Water Color Society and the Automotive Fine Arts Society, and has been included in exhibitions of American Water Color Society, National Water Color Society, International Water Colour Masters, International Guild of Realism, American Artists Professional League, and many others.
