Iris’ head isn’t always up in the clouds with theory, however, as she uses these talents to paint some very down-to-earth issues, too. Some of her most provocative paintings are from series on refugees, war and natural disasters.

With this she is keen not only to communicate her own feelings, but to express the experiences of others, particularly in difficult times.
She uses memory, anticipation, despair, fear and hope as key themes and all of these make her paintings compelling.
Iris is also interested in the history of art and pushing boundaries of style. One of her series (called The Apples) shows fruit changing through time in a challenging style.

This pushes the accepted idea of the still life painting and makes the viewer question what they’re looking at.
Iris is a Rugby-based artist that has successfully shown work internationally and has paintings in collections in the UK, USA, South Korea, China, Sweden, Holland, Germany and Croatia.
