About The Artist

M.T. McClanahan was born in rural, eastern North Carolina and earned his BFA from East Carolina University. His earliest memories as an artist are of a young boy working at the drawing table given to him by his mother.

The artist works in both oils and acrylics on stretched canvas and primed masonite board. He paints primarily in his modest, one-room studio but often works on location to continuously train his “eye” to see and translate the variety in nature.

McClanahan’s current work focus’ on large-scale, intimate views of lone skiffs, Adirondack chairs and architectural elements. He says of art…”A painting works when it belongs, is not contrived. It should have a presence that is as natural as you or I. The artist’s empathy, especially, dictates this new personality.”

The artist’s work is in private and corporate collections. He is represented by several galleries along the eastern coast of the United States.
