Wow! These stunningly beautiful, ethereal paintings are all gifts of Iris’s innermost being. Her unique communication with the world is absolutely pure, untainted by the clumsy limitations of speech. I am also speaking with first-hand experience as a woman with autism & as a self-taught artist: although I started speaking at the age of 4 & a half years, I always have to go back to drawing & painting in order to express myself with integrity.
Iris is doubtlessly delighted with her incredible discovery so early in life!
What an inspiration for us all!
I think Iris is an engel from paradise to share some happiness to people by her beautiful painting. I love her so much.
Hi.. My friend shared about iris’s talent in facebook.. I am truly amazed with her talent. Its soothing to see each colour she used in the paintings and how she blends the colour by each stroke.. Feel like looking at a field full with colourful flowers .. And even a glimpse of fish under the water.. Tq Iris because your paintings somehow motivates me to teach other children in my class…:)
Chaotic? These are the most peaceful, calming, quiet pieces of art I’ve ever seen and would love to own one.
