Fantasy Artist, Iris Compiet, Joins Visual Arts Passage as Guest Speaker for Fall Fine Arts and Illustration Courses

Visual Arts Passage is thrilled to announce that Iris Compiet, an acclaimed traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, will be a guest speaker in our upcoming fine arts and illustration courses this fall. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain insights and inspiration from an artist known for her captivating storytelling and imaginative creations.

About Iris Compiet

Iris Compiet is a renowned traditional artist and illustrator who, from the age of seven, knew she wanted to paint and draw fantastical beings. Her diverse portfolio includes picture books, gallery art, concept art, and sculpting. Iris’s work is deeply rooted in storytelling, aiming to create a connection with the viewer and spark their imagination.

Iris is the creator of the mesmerizing world of Faeries of the Faultlines, which she explores in her book of the same name. Her art draws heavily from European folklore, mythology, fairytales, ghost stories, and other eclectic sources like Victorian photography, tombstones, and popular culture. This blend of influences results in artwork that is both enchanting and thought-provoking.
