Wandering Iris Studio

Cheeky art to make you smile.

I’m Iris, a watercolor artist in Springfield, VA. I paint whimsical animals with gentle mischief, made to interrupt the chaos of everyday life with a smile and a bit of calm.

A week of Ink toTreat drawings! 👻
Mostly black-and-white gouache — with a color pop here and there
Each one’s a tiny story — a cat with striped socks, stag-van-winkle, a bunny with her witch hat floating away with her pumpkin ballo

🌕🐇 A little late to the moon party, but these bunnies don’t seem to mind.

When I first started painting, I imagined a moon rabbit quietly pounding mochi… until a pair of mischievous bunnies showed up to turn it into a food fight.
