I’m Iris. I am a children’s book illustrator.

                                                    I live in Athens, Greece.

       I've studied Graphic and Interior design. 

I am also a huge fan of children's artwork.

    So, when not illustrating,  I might be found  in nursery schools teaching art, 

making workshops or presentations...

getting inspired for my illustrations : )
