Callaghan Creative

Art is a second career for both of us, and a journey we have undertaken together.
We were both born in cities (London and Belfast), met in York and have since continued to move to increasingly rural surroundings. Having experienced the stresses of fast-paced city life, we know first hand how much we, as humans, need to connect with the natural world.

Inspired by the wild landscapes, open seas and big skies of north Wales, our work explores the impact of nature on the human spirit.

Sharing our love of the outdoors and making alongside each other, we seek to communicate the emotions and essence of peak experiences in both 3D and 2D forms.

We started our training part time in 2005 and from 2010 onwards we carefully chose successful and established artists, whose styles we admire, to approach for individual training and mentoring. Through these inspiring master classes, we gained insights, experience and specific skills, methods and techniques to enable us to fulfil our own vision.

We started exhibiting our work in 2014 and moved to North Wales in 2016 to pursue art full-time.
