Maudie Brady, Sculptor for #tiacartintouch

Thank you Maudie Brady for all the insights on how a sculpture starts coming into life and for your precious advice on the training, passion, and devotion an artist should have!

After graduating in 1995 from the University of Melbourne (Bachelor of Art) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Bachelor of Fine Art -Sculpture) in 1998 Maudie pursued a career in the Film and Television Industry and over the course of the next 12 years learnt a wide range of skills within the Art and Construction Departments where she developed a love for sculpting.

Realising there was much more to learn specifically about figurative sculpture she sought out some of the best training on offer in 2013 at the Florence Academy of Art. In 2016 she completed the Figurative Sculpture Diploma at FAA with a student teaching scholarship and continues to teach for the sculpture department.

Awards include Joint Winner for the Tom Bass Prize 2016, Best Nude for her Life Size sculpture ‘Laura’ at the 12th ARC International Salon Competition, and Honorable Mention for ‘Muninn’s Fate’ in the 13th ARC Salon. ‘Laura’ was purchased by Museo Europeo de Arte Moderno (MEAM, Barcelona) in 2017 for their Permanent Collection.
