Monica Callaghan Profile Picture

Monica Callaghan

United Kingdom •
Artist (Painting) •
Born 1971 •
I am curious and hopeful. I believe that art is transformative for the artist and the viewer.

I am a painter of the real and the abstract.   Working in both oils and acrylics, introspection and observation are an integral part of my process. My visual language is sensitive yet bold. I love being able to create freely without the constraints of labels defining me as either a figurative artist or an abstract artist. My paintings are my response to external and internal stimuli. 

I started painting 11 years ago and am mainly self taught. I love developing my skill set through workshops and courses and taking that technical input home to develop into something that works for me. I have been working professionally for the last five years and have exhibited in London, Germany and Kent.
