Biography of Derek McCrea
Derek McCrea is a US Army Infantry Combat Soldier
with two tours in Iraq with the 3rd Infantry
Division, and this is his stress relief. He has
always loved to paint; it allows him to express
emotions on paper and relax. Derek paints in a
whimsical impressionistic style in plein air
settings. He was born in Albany, Georgia on
February 19, 1969. He presently resides with his
wife, Sheila, of 20 years and his two sons. He
first started painting with oils in the summer of
1984. From 1985 to 1986 he painted under the
instruction of Jimmy Peterson, a well known artist
from Georgia. In 1986 he won 1st place in the
Georgia Arts Exhibition. Derek joined the United
States Army in 1987 and continued self study and
painting on landscape subjects in France, Holland,
Germany, Italy and Hungary, painting in the plein
air style. He has completed over 20 commissions in
the past year. His works were most recently placed
in the Shoppes on Madison in historic Douglas GA,
and at Artsy's on the River Street in historic
Savannah Georgia. Derek has donated several
artworks to non-profit and charitable
organizations in the past: February 2007 to
Christian Mission Hospital for HIV children run by
Joyce Meyer Ministries in India, silent auction
for a baby with PWS syndrome October 25, 2008, and
