A J Callan Cards: An Introduction
A very popular Washington Green artist, A J Callan was born in Glasgow in 1958 and his childhood was surrounded by the new confidence and optimism of 60’s Britain. Carnaby Street, the Beatles and jobs for everyone! He was constantly exposed to new ideas, sounds and fashions and everyone was encouraged to let their imagination run free.
Art College followed school and he spent five years studying both fine art and graphic design. On leaving college, he entered the world of advertising but continued to produce pieces in his own time, experimenting with different medium and subject matter.
However, he realised that in order to follow his dream he had to make an important decision and he chose to commit himself fully to his passion for fine art and became a full time artist in 2005 - a decision he has never regretted.
