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 .

Hi Arabella, wht was the name of your daughters art therapist ?
Hi Ella,
Iris hasn’t got an Art therapist, she paints for the joy of it and that in itself is therapy, I just keep her painting table out all the time in the kitchen and the paints are where she can see them and she can paint when she feels like it, it could be 6am in the morning or in the evening, its up to her. She does have an occupational therapist, a music therapist and a speech therapist though and they are regular sessions at set times every week.
