My name is Cormac McCarthy (https://www.cormacpaints.art) and I am a proud immigrant to the United States from Tipperary, Ireland.
I started out my working life as an elementary school teacher. I taught for fifteen years in schools from Tipperary, to the San Francisco Bay Area of California, and eventually to Whidbey Island.

After 15 years of teaching, I realized that I was completely burned out, and that my mental health was being impacted.
