Michael McCarthy has been working with photography and printmaking for some twenty-five years now and has developed expertise in a wide range of photo techniques and processes–from some of the earliest photo processes such as cyanotypes, salt prints and gum bichromate prints through to the most recent digital applications (and often processes combining both the older historic and the newest digital techniques).
Michael received a Master of Fine Arts from Tyler School of Art and has been teaching in university art programs for nearly twenty years in the U.S. and in Europe. His work has received numerous awards over the years and has appeared in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. and in Europe.
Michael’s work is represented in Paris by Galerie Duboys. His exhibition Human Form was selected Best Gallery Exhibition in 2012 by Marc Lenot on his Lunettes Rouges blog for Lemonde.fr.
