Born in Wichita, Kansas, McCoy studied at the Academie Royale des Beaux Arts in Liege and received a BFA and Masters in Fine Arts from Kansas University. In 1954, he began working at the Swain School of Design in New Bedford, Massachusetts. McCoy taught painting, drawing and printmaking at UMass/Dartmouth for 32 years and retired in 1991. He continued to draw, paint and exhibit his own work for the next 25 years.

McCoy, a regionalist painter in style, returned to Kansas frequently over the years and captured many images of the Flint Hills, close to where he grew up. "Evening Solitude," an Andrew Wyeth-like landscape, has a melancholic tone as if time is standing still and the landscape is undisturbed by human presence.
