Iris Du is a New York-based illustrator and artist whose work explores self-awareness, nature, imagination, and the cycles of life. Observing the world with a keen eye, she turns subtle impressions, everyday humor, and personal narratives into nuanced visual stories.
In her creative process, she seamlessly blends the tactile quality of traditional mediums with the flexibility of digital tools, preserving a delicate warmth and sensitivity in her imagery. Her background across design education, journalism, and editorial publishing has refined her observational skills and narrative voice. She holds an MFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a BFA in Communications Design from Pratt Institute.
Outside of illustration, Iris enjoys exploring gardening and various handicrafts. Tending to her garden serves as more than a hobby; it provides an endless source of inspiration for her art, allowing her to continually reflect on the essence of life, growth, and beauty. Through a poetic and contemplative approach, she invites audiences to slow down and discover wondrous, emotionally resonant moments.
