| Peter Latona has been
sculpting and teaching sculpture in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra
since graduating from art college in 1976. He works mostly on commissions, specialising in portrait busts, figures, medallions and plaques - cast in bronze. Other interests include jewellery, trophies, water and garden features, and fountain designs, utilising silver, gold, ceramic, glass, stainless steel. Although preferring to sculpt from live sittings, the most impressive aspect of his work is the true-likeness and lively character captured in his memorial portrait busts, modelled from photographs, video and film. These may be of national cultural icons, local heroes of small towns, political or corporate leaders, or family loved-ones. In regular classes and workshops he covers sculpture techniques, 3D perception, design, aesthetics, and creativity. With an interest in bringing art experiences to disadvantaged groups Peter travelled globally in 2004 on a Churchill Fellowship researching best practice in the use of the 3D arts in healthcare and youth justice, and the accessibility of the arts for people with various disabilities.
