Be inspired by the extraordinary paintings from a young autistic artist from England.
The Artist
She is best known for her early work at aged four but has continued to paint while growing up in Leicestershire near Market Harborough. Her talent to express herself through painting astonished the world as at that time she was not speaking. Iris’s mother Arabella Carter-Johnson shares her art to inspire and raise awareness of her condition.
The story is published Globally and Iris sells paintings to private art collectors in the UK and all over the world including Angelina Jolie.

Iris met Thula, a Maine coon cat in 2014 and life at home started to change. They had an immediate affinity. At this point Iris started to open up and communicate with Thula in a way that she hadn’t done before and this started her amazing journey with many animals .

Arabella documented their journey through diary entries and photographs and now tells Iris’s story in her first book. It is illustrated in full colour with photographs and of course Iris’s beautiful paintings. ‘Iris Grace’ has been published in Hardcover by Penguin and has been translated into 11 languages.

Stunning. I am no expert but Iris would surely be Autistic Savant. And it is clearly a joy to her to express herself this way.
I do have a question though. Who makes the decision as to which orientation the painting is to be viewed? I would love to think that Iris has a say in this.
Yes, the right way to hang some of her work has been debated on down at the framers, her paintings seem to be like that game of watching clouds and saying what you see. So now we ask Iris, she sits in a big arm chair and we take out the piece and show it to her both ways, she usually makes it clear with a frown if its wrong and then a little jig if its the right way around. Some of them I know which way as I have watched her only paint from one side of the table. But sometimes she paints from all the way around which I guess is why they could b shown either way. Paintings like Blue Planet have 2 hanging cords so you can choose as Iris had no preference.
Thank you for your reply. Also having an autistic daughter, I am drawn to Iris’ story and will continue to follow her progress.
wow what an amazing and beautiful talent your darling iris is she has moved me to tears good luck to your all for the furture and bless you iris and thank you.
