About Ciara
Irish artist Ciara Gilmore creates, a form of expressionist abstraction inspired by the mystery of life and her need to describe it in paint form.
Her texture rich paintings strive to portray a sense of the energy that is unspoken and unseen, often described as ethereal, divine or heavenly.
She also also gains inspiration from the natural world, especially the rugged Irish coastline and the wild landscapes of Irelands Glen’s and Mountains.
Born in Belfast , Northern Ireland, Ciara discovered her love of art from an early age. After leaving her career in occupational therapy behind, she took the leap in to full time art. At first Ciara found her place creating textile art and realistic landscapes and in latter years transitioned to abstract which finally felt like home.
Ciara has exhibited all around Ireland and her paintings adorn the walls of her collectors all around the globe.
In 2020 Ciara realised her dream of creating her signature Abstract Art online course. And she successfully launched Abstract Art Evolution in February this year. The 8 week program teaches students how to really refine and uplevel their abstract art so they are ready to start selling and potentially create an art business of their own. Currently the classroom is full and the first students are already creating amazing art using the techniques Ciara teaches.

About the host, Miriam Schulman
In case we haven’t met yet, I’m an artist and founder of The Inspiration Place, where I help other artists learn how to profit from their passion. Through online classes, business coaching programs, and a top-ranked podcast, I’ve helped thousands of artists around the world develop their skill sets and create more time and freedom to do what they love. My signature coaching program, The Artist Incubator, helps artists go from so-so sales to sold-out collections.
After witnessing 9/11, I abandoned a lucrative hedge fund job to work on my art full time. Since then, my art and story have been featured in major publications including Forbes, What Women Create, The New York Times, Art of Man, Art Journaling magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Igniting Creativity as well as featured on NBC’s “Parenthood” and the Amazon series “Hunters” with Al Pacino. Check out my best-selling book with HarperCollins Leadership, Artpreneur: The Step-by-Step Guide to Making a Sustainable Living From Your Creativity, wherever books are sold. When I’m not in the studio, I split my time between New York City and a farmhouse in the country.

Chelsea Artpreneur Studio · New York City
What’s the biggest bottleneck holding your art business back?
Maybe it feels like pricing. Maybe it’s finding the right collectors, choosing the right opportunities, or figuring out what deserves your attention next. Or maybe you can see 3 different directions your business could go, and you’re tired of guessing which one is right.
That’s what we’re working on at the Chelsea Artpreneur Studio, October 28–29 in New York City.
This isn’t a conference or another workshop where you leave with forty new ideas. I’m bringing together a small group of established artists for two days of hands-on strategy built around the actual problems you bring into the room. We’ll look at your business, figure out what’s really holding it back, make the decisions, and map out exactly what comes next.
You’ll also have a professional branding portrait session, plus plenty of time around the table with a small group of artists who take their businesses as seriously as you do.
You’ll leave knowing what’s actually holding your business back, what needs to change, and most of all, what to do next.
