JEREMIAH DANIEL WELSH Bio

For the past 26 years, JEREMIAH DANIEL WELSH has dedicated himself to the pursuit of excellence in low relief sculpture. 

Fifteen of those years were spent as a contractual relief sculpture for Matthews International bronze, generating plastiline originals for architectural metal-casting applications. 

In 2012, WELSH moved to Japan to enrich his career as a fine artist - and in 2014, he displayed his first solo exhibition at the Frederick Harris Gallery in Tokyo. Upon returning to the United States in 2015, WELSH opened his own studio in Colorado Springs, Colorado. 

In 2017, WELSH presented his second solo exhibition in Colorado - and in 2019, his sculptural collection debuted at Wiford Gallery in Santa Fe.

In 2021, WELSH was commissioned to create the 50th Brookgreen Medal. His medal, entitled, Days of Silence - Nights of Song, was debuted at the Brookgreen Gardens in May 2022 - where he presented its development via lecture. 

WELSH's sculptures have also been recognized in the 15th ARC Exhibition (2020) as well as juried into the National Wildlife Museum's Summer Exhibition (2022) and the Mountain Oyster Club's 54th Annual Contemporary Western Art Show (2023).
