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 . 

The Book

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.
