McKee’s process is a combination of photography and painting. He first creates the photograph and then prints it onto the surface, using a photographic emulsion. McKee spends the majority of time working with oil paint to bring out the desired expression in his works.

McKee’s work has been featured in several print publications alongside other prominent contemporary artists, such as Daniel Richter and John Currin, most notably in “The Upset: Young Contemporary Art”.
