Dan McCole, a native of South Boston, Massachusetts, is a graduate of Vesper George School of Art, completing a full three-year course in fine arts and illustration. Early on, Dan chose watercolor as his preferred medium, or as he says, “Perhaps it chose me, for I seem to possess a scattered and wandering mind that adapted readily to the discipline of ‘frenzied restraint’ that so typifies a watercolor painter.”

He is a co-founder and serves as president of the South Boston Arts Association. He is an associate member of the New England Watercolor Society and enjoys full membership in the South Shore Art Association, The Quincy Art Association and the North River Art Association.
