Iris Carignan

Iris Carignan's passion for writing and art finds inspiration through faith and family and began early in her life. It was at the young age of nine when she had her first painting lesson, wrote her first book, and came to faith in Christ. As an award-winning artist, she has been recognized both locally and nationally. She is the author of the inspirational book "Fresh Eyes: Seeing God in the Unexpected," and her children's book, "Moriah's Wings" debuts Iris as both an author and illustrator. Her first fiction novel, "the Buzz @ Chicky-Pie's Cafe" was released in 2023 and received rave reviews. Its' sequel, "Bestseller @ Chicky-Pie's Cafe", is scheduled to be released before December 2026. Iris is also a poet and her poem "Footsteps of My Lord" is published in the International Library of Poetry. Though a popular author and an award-winning artist, Iris considers her best work of art to be her longtime marriage to her husband, Larry, her three children and seven grandchildren.
