Jacinta Callaghan Art

My name is Jacinta Callaghan, a local business owner of Jacinta’s Hairdressers and Jacinta Callaghan Art in the quaint village of Kerrykeel, Co. Donegal Ireland my salon and Art Gallery can be found on the route to the Fanad Peninsula. As a child, I was always creative and artistic. I am self-taught. I still love to attend art classes so to be with others. So that is why I turned my hands to hairdressing and art.

I started attending painting classes in Letterkenny and was pleasantly surprised to sell my first painting in 2002 at an exhibition in Ace of Arts ( Frame Masters now)in Letterkenny. I then continued to paint and refine my skills always photographing some of my favorite landscapes, flowers and people, and animals which I would subsequently paint in the comfort of my own home. Since selling my first painting in 2002. I  have sold numerous paintings over the years and had paintings commissioned from various places including Ireland, America, and New Zealand, and now worldwide. I  continue to paint using a variety of media including oil paint, acrylic, and watercolor currently favoring oil paint. I mostly enjoy painting landscapes and nature in particular local landscapes such as the Fanad Lighthouse and Ballymastocker Bay. In  Jacinta’s Hair Salon in Kerrykeel, you will find my Art Gallery and where my paintings are displayed.
I have now my merchandise on Chopping boards, Coasters, Mugs, Cushions, Slate. Placemats, Baubles, and Key Rings.

My new venture is that I have opened my own art gallery in the salon selling art and merchandise.
