Iris Carignan’s passion for art and writing flows from her deep faith and began as a young child. She has written and illustrated several children’s books and hundreds of poems. Her poem “Footsteps of My Lord” is published in the International Library of Poetry. As an award-winning artist, she has been recognized both locally and nationally. Her paintings hang in collections around the nation and have gained her the reputation of being a painter of peace. However, she considers her best work of art to be her longtime marriage to her husband, Larry, her three children and seven grandchildren.
