Abby McClure grew up on a small farm outside of West Chester, PA. She graduated from Westtown Friends in 1988, where she concentrated on art, music, French and German. She moved to Chadds Ford PA where she met and studied with local artists. Jimmy Lynch (painter and Wyeth model, most notably of Jamie Wyeth's "Draft Age") became a long-time friend and mentor, and the neighboring Andrew Wyeth was also largely influential. She has studied drawing with Rea Redifer and classical realist painting with Neilson Carlin. Her first public showing of work was at the Brandywine River Museum at age 19.
Abby currently lives in Kennett Square, PA.
