Brian Donahue Liturgical Art & Design is concerned with the needs of specific clients who require design and iconography for use in the  liturgical space. My training is in Fine Arts with Continuing Education in Liturgical Art & Architecture. I combine aesthetics and symbology to create art for use in education, meditation and prayer, not only within the Sanctuary but in outdoors spaces such as Prayer Gardens and the gardens of the private resident. He works 3 dimensionally with bronze, ceramic and stone as well as 2 dimensionally creating murals and paintings.

 

I am a forth generation craftsman. Learning from my father, renowned western artist Vic Donahue, by the time-honored method of apprentiship. I continued my education at the University of Arizona where I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (1980) in Studio Art and minor study in Art History. Following graduation I conducted independent research in England, Scotland, and Ireland studying religious and Celtic art. I have received Continuing Education and Seminars in Liturgical Art and Architecture from the University of St. Mary’s of the Lake, Mundelein, IL.

 

I have also taught Bagpipes at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy in Delafield, WI.

 

I is a member of the National Sculpture Society (Associate) and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

 

 

Creates work for the commercial and private space of genre subjects. Primarily a bronze sculptor, my work ranges from wildlife subjects of his native southwest to figurative cultural subjects and portraiture. I have not allowed myself to be confined to one area of genre, rather I choose subjects based on what interests me at the time, making for diversity and flexibility in my work. Even my style changes depending on the project and what I feel will best suit the desired outcome, yet it remains recognizable as his own.
