Dooley, Arthur (Born in Liverpool, Dooley was apprenticed as a welder at Birkenhead Shipyards, worked at Dunlop's Speke factory and as a cleaner at St. Martin's School of Art, London, before turning to sculpture.

A sculptor of religious subjects, he usually worked in bronze or scrap metal, and produced work for churches in England, Spain and Latin America. Also a member of the Communist Party, he was commissioned to design and execute La Pasionaria, for Custom House Quay, Glasgow (1971-77), as a memorial to the Glasgow volunteers who fought in the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-9.)
