Richard MacDonald was born in California and has spent more than 30 years creating a body of work that has changed the contemporary understanding of Figurative sculpture. Among his greatest achievements are historically significant public monuments, such as the 26-foot bronze sculpture The Flair which was installed at Georgia International Plaza in Atlanta, for the Olympic Games in 1996, where it
still stands today. In 2000 Richard MacDonald created the 15-foot tall bronze called Momentum to celebrate 100 years of the U.S Open, which was held at Pebble Beach, where the piece is permanently installed. Currently, Richard MacDonald is creating a monumental piece for The Royal Ballet School in London, a project that has taken several years, and will culminate in a multiple figure Grand Coda to commemorate the founder of The Royal Ballet, Dame Ninette de Valois. In addition to these, and other publicly installed works, Richard MacDonald has been included in the private collections of distinguished patrons around the world. Richard MacDonald is best known for his figurative sculpture, but he has won honors as a painter, and for his works in a broad range of mediums, creating several different genres within the body of his work.
