About Keith McCulloch

Keith McCulloch, born in Boston in 1939, studied art at Yale University and The Art Students League of New York before settling in Florida. His sublime landscapes, infused with a masterful balance of color and light, are widely collected and have received numerous awards.

“This image comes from a searing memory. I was driving in the early morning from Tallahassee to Marianna Florida. As I passed a vacant lot off of Apalachee Parkway, I glimpsed a gorgeous palm tree lit by the morning sun against a much darker background of oak shrouded with spanish moss. She, the palm, so brilliant and golden appeared as if she were an opera diva spotlighted on stage. I went back the next few mornings at the same time when I had the chance to take color notes, and a few photos. After a number of studio sessions, I think I got it. That vacant lot is no more. Now there is some alehouse/restaurant planted there. The Palm is gone...so goes Florida.” - Keith McCulloch
