Iris Hope

"Iris Hope" is part of the collection, "Look At The Wildflowers" an NFT Collection, launched in honor of Vitiligo Awareness Month. Diagnosed with vitiligo at 23, I spent years concealing my skin beneath layers of makeup and fashion, wrestling with deep-seated insecurities. It was only when I bravely chose to channel this personal challenge into my art that I discovered a profound sense of freedom and healing. By integrating the distinctive white 'patches' of vitiligo into my illustrations, I began to embrace my uniqueness, transforming my perspective and approach to art.
