He graduated from York University with an MFA in 1985. McNealy has taught at a number of institutions: Emily Carr University, York University, the Banff Centre, and Capilano University. He has exhibited his work and staged performances as part of his practice in Canada, the United States, and Europe. McNealy, who is best known as a creator of mixed-media installations and public art, is an accomplished painter, incorporating both naturalistic styles, more expressionist mark making to an almost minimalist pointillism. Influenced by the Fauves, McNealy often employs thick black outlines and rich earth tones contrasted with intense whites, blues and pinks. McNealy’s work can be found in the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto, ON), Canada Council Art Bank, (Ottawa, ON), Jan Van Eyck Academie (Maastricht, The Netherlands), Municipal Van Reekumgallery of Modern Art (Apeldoorn, The Netherlands), York University (Toronto, ON), Princeton University Museum of Fine Art (Princeton, New Jersey), Vancouver Art Gallery (Vancouver, BC), and numerous private collections in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
