Hello, I'm Ciara,

I’m an intuitive abstract artist and teacher, and I’ve been successfully selling my art online and through galleries for the last 30 years.
But one of my greatest joys is to help hundreds of artists embrace their playful side and unlock exciting techniques that bring their art to life.
When I first started my journey, I often felt stuck. I’d stare at a blank canvas, unsure how to make my paintings feel bold, fun, and alive. I wasted so much money on fancy tools and supplies, only to feel disappointed when my work didn’t stand out the way I wanted it to.
My art felt flat, and I was left wondering, “What’s the secret to creating art that feels truly unique and professional?”
But I didn't give up and spent many years experimenting and developing my own techniques. Talking to so many artists, I soon realized that they too struggled with techniques, like me and so The Painting Pantry was born!

I created The Painting Pantry after receiving sooooo many messages from struggling artists.

They wanted their paintings to have the same energy and impact as their favourite artists’ work, but they kept asking, “How do they DO that?”
And my answer was always the same - it wasn’t about talent or special tools.
It was simply a matter of knowing the right techniques.
The good news?
These techniques are EASY to learn, FUN to explore, and will make a HUGE difference in your paintings - almost instantly.
