John Fitzmaurice was born in Sydney, and is now living on the N.S.W Central Coast. With a background in
building and design, he now has time to pursue his artistic passions, with sculpture being a natural
progression and preferred medium. He works in a variety of materials (stone, timber, fibre glass, Cor-ten
steel), currently stainless steel is his favoured medium. His works are inspired by natural forms and
everyday objects which are transformed with abstraction and humour. He prefers making large outdoor
pieces with durability and quality being of high importance. His smaller pieces are equally suited to both
home and commercial environments.
His numerous group exhibitions include: Sculpture by the Sea (Bondi) – 2011, Swell Sculpture Festival (Qld)
-2011, 12, 13(Peer award 2012), Harbour Sculpture- 2013, 14, 15. His works are represented in several
private collections, and also commissioned privately.
