About Monica Callaghan

I am a South African artist, based in Canterbury, having lived in London and Germany. Over the past 30 years, I have been a dancer, actor, singer, landscaper, interior designer, and mosaic artist. I started painting in 2011, graduated from the Art Academy, London in 2015, and have exhibited in Portland, Oregon in the USA, at the Art Academy and Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, and at the Art Factory in Kandern, Germany.

I paint primarily in oils and acrylics, using light and colour to explore how hope, beauty and wonder can be found alongside sorrow, pain and grief.
