Richard Macdonald

“The purpose of my work is to enrich your life with art by capturing every facet of the human experience.”

Born in 1946 in Pasadena, California, MacDonald graduated from Art Center College, where he was classically trained. From this beginning, he became a self-taught sculptor who has spent the last 50 years reviving the lost art of figurative sculpture through innovation, passion, and intense commitment.

An illustrious career with many awards, honors, and public monuments marks Richard MacDonald as one of the leading contemporary figures in contemporary sculpture.
