Artist Amy is leaving her mark across the Valley

ARTIST Amy Callaghan is leaving her mark all over Rossendale as she completes her third mural in the borough.
The former Whitworth Community High School student runs Pigs In Mud Art Studios out of the Horse and Bamboo in Waterfoot and it was that link that secured her first mural.
In 2021, on the entrance wall of co-working space The Alliance in Bacup, she created caricatures of familiar residents.
In July, she completed a commission for Rossendale Borough Council to brighten up the breeze block-enclosed Thrutch Tunnel in Waterfoot, next to the popular tunnels walking route to Stacksteads.
Her spray-painted mural captured the area's industrial past alongside the wildlife that is seen in the area.
Now she is putting the finishing brushstrokes on another council commission - a mural in Haslingden to brighten up an alleyway that links Haslingden Market with main shopping street Deardengate. Amy, 30, from Shawforth, said: "I got into art when I was two and a family friend bought me some finger paints.
