Your Guide (Me)

Krystee Iris

Watercolour Artist

Hey friend! I’m Krystee Iris. A mama, artist and lover of all things watercolour, living in Wellington, NZ. My three lively lads – Louis, Lachlan, and Lennox – keep my days full of energy (and a bit of mayhem). Painting in my home studio gives me a balance, and rhythm and brings beauty into everyday life. The loose style of watercolours gives me the versatility to be expressive and explore different contemporary options. I love what’s possible with colours, botanicals and fluid mediums. I love teaching others of all skill levels and creating spaces to come together in a relaxed and fun environment. I teach online, in-person and do commissioned art.
