Artist’s Note

Hello! My name is Ciara, and I’m a painter based in North Dublin. My primary medium is acrylic on canvas, though I dabble in other media here and there. I love to play with shape, colour and composition, mixing elements of my everyday life and surroundings with abstraction, imagination, and flow.

For me, being an artist is a way of seeing and being in the world, and it doesn’t begin or end at the easel. Since I was a child, creation, expression and play have been deeply important to me. Now, as an adult, practicing art allows me to do all of this, while also performing essential functional roles in my life. For me, painting is a way of uniting my body and mind. To enter the flow state is to walk the journey home to myself. The works you see here document that process in some way.
