ABOUT KIERAN GUCKIAN

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Kieran's art journey began with a love of ornithology and drawing birds. His first mentor and teacher was Sister Maureen McMahon and he went on to attend Crawford College of Art and Design graduating with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting. Painting on location from life is central to Kieran's practice and his location work informs his more conceptual studio pieces.

Kieran has exhibited in the RHA annual and reached the final of Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year in 2025 where the three finalists painted Stonehenge. He currently splits his time between painting on location and in studio in MART Studios in Dublin.

In his workshop Kieran will focus on sharing his painting process, from subject choice and compositions to finding realism through colour and values. His aim will be to focus on sharing his knowledge and helping participants throughout the workshop.
