When commenting about the artist it is just not adequate to list the oils, acrylics, encaustic paint, and inks Iris uses as a multimedia painter and printmaker. The process of putting these materials together is a deeply personal expression of impression of and in the moment.
Her Inspiration springs from living in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Iris’s appreciation for the bounty of natural beauty in forested mountains of granite, rivers, streams, and waterfalls, vast lush green fields, scents of blossoming orchards, and our mix of ethnic people and cultures nourishes Iris’s artistic exploration and creativity.
Iris shares the spontaneity of the moment through color, resonance, a fresh perspective that is complex and uniquely her own.
