Featured Shop Artist for June: Iris Casey
Iris enjoys making wire “speak” a different language. From being used as something to hold fences together, send electrical currents or act as structural arms, she turns wire into creatures such as birds and dragonflies and infuses them with personality and whimsey. Her goal is to have the observer/purchaser smile….or even laugh!
Mosaics, her second medium of choice, are challenges in line, colour, movement and pattern. From tile, to stained glass to metal pieces and found objects, come creations that emote and tease.
Iris is a Northern Ontario girl….born in Sturgeon Falls, daughter of a post Group of 7 artist, (Lorraine Franklin Casey) she grew up with art all around her. She moved to Southern Ontario where she went to university, married and had a teaching career and with hubby, children and dogs, lived in Hockley Valley for 30 years.
She moved to the County in 2012 to be close to the water to kayak and to be immersed in an artistic community where she is participating in various shows, artistic groups and galleries.
She has her own studio in Carrying Place where she is open by chance or appointment.
