Hi! My name is Iris Kiewiet, I'm a Dutch-Canadian artist, with a BFA in illustration. Creating many editorial illustrations for Dutch newspapers, magazines and book publishers, I've come to use critical thinking, image association, layering meaning and materials. My work and teaching modules combine hands-on and digital techniques, studio and community groups. I've created many art classes with nature, recycling, illustration, STEAM and collaborative themes. Available for the ONE DAY project!
