Kalechman is a graduate of the Art Academy in Tel Aviv, and of the Tel Aviv School of Graphic Art. She has participated in numerous exhibitions, including the annual Ein Hod "Bazaar" and the annual exhibition held by the Artist' Association.
The dominant aspect in Kalechman's paintings is her sense of color, which finds expression in bright hues, despite the transparency of her aquarelles, while their structural composition tends towards minimalism, reflecting her optimism and Sabra verve in her firm, slashing lines.
