About

Seamus Connolly is one of Ireland’s leading bronze portrait sculptors, best known for his highly acclaimed life-size portraits. Seamus runs a bronze foundry in West Clare and rather uniquely, takes all his work from inception in clay, through to being finally cast in bronze in the traditional method.


Seamus is equally sought after for his artistic and stylised bronze pieces, He has a fantastic reputation for these individual, quirky sculptures, most of which are inspired by animals and nature and sit particularly well in people’s homes.


His work is currently owned by the OPW, the Irish Government, the GAA, the National Irish Writers Museum as well as a list of high end clientele.
