Carolyn Mulholland was born in Lurgan, Co. Armagh in 1944 and studied at the Belfast College of Art before embarking on her career as a noted bronze sculptor. One of her earliest commissions came from the young poet Seamus Heaney with whom she became close friends. Since then she has completed many major sculpture commissions in both the North and South of Ireland and some of her outstanding recent portrait commissions include a posthumous bust of Sir Alfred Chester Beatty and the official portrait of President Mary McAleese. She has exhibited widely at home and abroad, including the European Commission in Brussels, Jorgensen Fine Art and the Peppercanister Gallery in Dublin. She was elected a member of Aosdána in 1990 and was awarded the Irish-American Cultural Institute OMalley Award in 1992. Since then she has carried out numerous commissions and exhibits regularly at the annual exhibition of the Royal Hibernian Academy, of which she is a member. She now lives and works in Dublin.
