Full time North Avoca sculptor, John Fitzmaurice, has a background in building and design. He works in a variety of materials, with stainless steel being his favoured medium.

His works are inspired by natural forms and everyday objects which are transformed with abstraction and humour. John works exclusively on every stage of his creations, with durability and high quality finishes defining each piece.
