Interview:
MNN: Give us a little background, when did you first develop an interest in art?
Dan McCarthy: I started making art at a very early age ... probably as early as I can remember. My mother is an artist/musician, and we were always doing something creative in the household. I continued to be creative throughout my teenage years and attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston after high school.
While at school, making art really became a part of my everyday life, and I experimented with all sorts of printmaking and other forms of making art. I really enjoyed screen printing and I took what I learned at school to continue to make prints from my home studio. Ten years later, I've continued printing and feel really lucky that I can make a living doing something that I really love.
