David McCullough was born in Massachusetts and attended the Kansas City Art Institute and California Institute of the Arts before arriving in Texas in the early 1970s. He showed his work in regional competitive exhibitions, taking home several honors and prizes in the early 1970s. McCullough was never formally attached to a specific gallery but chose to make opportunities happen by establishing his own live-work studios in the neighborhoods of Oak Cliff and South Dallas. He has worked in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, and performance art. McCullough lives and works in Dallas and is currently represented by Kirk Hopper Fine Art.

Ruth Wiseman is the former owner of Ruth Wiseman Gallery (1976–1992) and currently a docent at the Dallas Museum of Art.
