Iris K. Fragoso, iArtIris

I am a self-taught artist and art is my passion. I have been painting for several years, and throughout the years, my creativity, style and technique(s) have changed as I continue to grow with my life experiences. As you view my art gallery, you'll see my work is abstract, colorful, textured and full of motion. I utilize bright and vibrant colors to set the mood.
