Beach bear

Artist James Kenny has created 3D print models of the ‘Beach Bear’ sculpture located at the seafront in Greystones.

Kenny has done so with the permission of sculptor Patrick O’Reilly.

The bear was donated by the Dwyer family in memory of their late daughter Caroline Dwyer-Hickey.

Caroline battled cancer for nine years before her death in 2013.

She worked as a teacher in Dublin.

Her family wished to commemorate her with a lively sculpture which the children of the town in particular would enjoy.

To get your hands on one of the replicated sculptures, find James on Facebook and send him a message.
