Artist Biography
Craig MacDonald first started working in bronze in the late 1980’s in the studio of acclaimed New Zealand sculptor Paul Dibble. He has exhibited his works at numerous award, solo and group exhibitions and his work is held in private and corporate collections in Australia and overseas. As the Master Founder at the Garage Art Foundry in Elphinstone, Central Victoria, Craig works with artists from all over Australia to realize their sculpture through the process of bronze casting. Earlier this year MacDonald won the Montalto Sculpture Prize. An acquisitive award with a prize of $20,000, MacDonald came first with his work titled Witness [2011].
