Art2Muse A vibrant art gallery Located in the heart of Double Bay, Art2Muse Gallery attracts locals, designers, national and international art lovers who can also view and purchase artworks online. Established in 2001 by Katrina Hampton, Art2Muse Gallery represents a diverse range of artworks from 45 established artists at an affordable price. The gallery has been operating in Double Bay since 2008 with an exciting program of regular exhibitions and provides ongoing personalised service. In November 2014 Art2Muse Gallery was the first Australian gallery to be invited to participate in the Contemporary Istanbul Art Fair in Turkey. We offer a home consultation service to advise on artworks. An initial visit to your home or office will include photographing the space and discussing your preferences. We will then produce a catalogue of recommended artworks superimposed on your walls as a preview before trying the pieces in your home. The $99 consultation fee is then deducted from your first art purchase. Here is a selection of available artworks by Craig MacDonald. Please feel free to contact us for high resolution photographs and catalogues of artworks you are interested in and to discuss your requirements.

Craig MacDonald I grew up in New Plymouth, New Zealand a small town on the coast with about as much drama as a town four times its size. Within this landscape I learnt to value the poetry inherent in average people living ordinary lives. Between operating an art foundry and raising a family in Central Victoria, I create sculptures cast in bronze and aluminium. My inspiration comes from the world around me and the stories that come with it, so anything can happen. - Craig MacDonald
