Celebration was originally conceived for an ILPH Ball Fundraiser for the World Horse Welfare. Another example of Celebration was purchased by the late Duke of Devonshire. Angela Conner has created sculptures in a range of diverse materials, including stainless steel, marble dust, carbon fibre, resin, gold, silver, slate and glass. She has substantial international experience and is particularly known for her kinetic sculpture. Conner's sculptural works in Ireland include several large scale works such as Wave located in Parkwest, Dublin; the tallest water and wind sculpture in Europe.

In April 2009 a major large-scale sculpture by the artist, entitled Patefaction, was installed on Grafton Street, Dublin as part of a temporary Public Art Space Programme, organised in conjunction with Dublin City Council. Her work is held in numerous private and public collections internationally, including the late Lucien Freud and several members of the Royal Family, the Arts Council England, the National Portrait Gallery, the Sculpture Gallery at Chatsworth, 10 Downing Street and the Carnegie Museum of Modern Art in Pittsburgh, among others.
