Ciara is a self taught illustrator and artist from Galway, Ireland, working out of a small studio by the sea with her trusty sidekick, Basil! 

She plays with tones and textures to create whimsical illustrations with a dreamy and delicate touch. Her romantic aesthetic pairs pastel hues with wonderfully haphazard hand-lettering, evoking feelings of nostalgia and connection. Inspired by the everyday, she puts pen to paper with the hope of capturing those little moments of wonder and delight. 

She has illustrated for brands and publications around the globe, but also loves to work on projects closer to home. She aims to inject a little joy into the days of those who enjoy her illustrations, so if her work brings a smile to your face, then her job here is done!

She also happens to have the nicest clients ever, including: 

L’Occitane, Ballymaloe, White Mausu, Julie Flamingo, Anantara The Marker, Galway Now, Joyeuserie, Koko Kinsale, Dough Bro’s, Dela Farm & Restaurant and All About Kombucha.
