Laura Callaghan

Laura Callaghan (? – ) is a UK-based Irish illustrator, who is known for her hand-drawn illustrations that blend fashion and satire. She utilises a combination of mediums such as watercolour, Indian ink, and isograph pen, to create images that are ostensibly bright and beautiful but also cultivate a sense of mystery or unease. Her work, deeply influenced by Intersectional Feminism, explores social concerns like gender roles and women's representation. Her art, filled with fearless female characters, is characterised by bright colours and soft pastel tones contrasted with sombre themes. Despite not conforming to typical beauty standards, her thought-provoking and balanced depictions are relevant in today's evolving social context.
