Darrell McCoy, an old soldier and academic with a Command Sergeant Major background and a Doctor of Education degree, has embarked on a new journey as an aspiring artist. Starting off with photography as a hobby, he eventually transitioned to etching in 2015, acrylic in 2018, and finally oil painting in 2020. Despite considering himself a novice, Darrell, now 55 years old, has set a goal to be recognized as a successful artist by the time he turns 60 in 2028. He finds solace in his garage, where he spends his time painting and relishing in the simple joys of life with his family.
Together with his wife Joy, whom he has been married to for 20 years, Darrell credits his family and faith as the pillars of his success. Their two sons, Ezekiel and Malachi, also share a passion for art in different forms. Ezekiel is an aspiring artist in his own right, while Malachi enjoys strategy games based on historical events and occasionally dabbles in art. This tight-knit family unit provides Darrell with the support and inspiration he needs to pursue his artistic dreams.
In addition to his artistic endeavors, Darrell has a successful career as a Senior Training and Development Specialist, balancing his civilian work with his military service in the Army Reserve.
