Quotes

China is important to the world in that they are a force and on the move. Exposing them to figurative art opens up a potential for artistic expression far greater than anyone would ever have dreamed possible until today. It is this very spirit of the struggle and determination to triumph that inspires creative expression. Richard MacDonald
I was headed in the wrong direction. I didn't think I'd make it to 21. My Uncle Chuck saved my life. He was a graphic designer, and he gave me my first sketchbook. In the front, he wrote, 'Wear it like your underwear.' Richard MacDonald
Richard MacDonald quote: "I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life."
I create for artistic intent only and do everything from life. Richard MacDonald

The greatest success is creating whatever you want without conditions. I don't do commissions unless I really want to, because it's like having a job. Richard MacDonald
I never had a job. I bought my first house within a year of getting out of school, and I built a custom one four and a half years later. The Art Center didn't teach much about business, but I learned a lot from the Fortune 500 companies that were my clients. Richard MacDonald

These guys are just flying through the air and I'm capturing them in the split second and putting it into a work of art, via clay to the bronze. Richard MacDonald
My goal is to make fine art, and fine art comes from the soul. If you have virtuosity and facility, you can take and create something of significance. Richard MacDonald
Richard MacDonald quote: "At any one time, I'll have 30 to 40 pieces going on in the..."
At any one time, I'll have 30 to 40 pieces going on in the studio, so this is not economically driven at all. Richard MacDonald
I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone. Richard MacDonald
There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis. Richard MacDonald
Richard MacDonald quote: "I don't do commissions and I like the freedom to create what..."
I don't do commissions and I like the freedom to create what my heart or mind tells me to. Richard MacDonald
I'm also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I'm not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on. Richard MacDonald
I can actually feel the interior body of a dancer. I have the ability to capture a split second... I want you to be hit with whatever the essence is of this sculpture. Richard MacDonald
