About me
I am Iris Kelly Kuntkes (1990), born in The Netherlands and after living in Brussels for almost 10 years, we recently moved to the beautiful Ghent. I live there with my boyfriend Niels, our sweet cat Louis and our amazing rats Charly, Hindi, Fox, Moffel, Pinky, Petey, Muis, Snuit, Millie, Bobby and Wade. Oh, and we also have a campbell hamster named Peggy.
Being creative is a big passion of mine. I enjoy writing and making films, taking pictures, creating paintings and illustrations. Besides all that, I love animals, food, plants, vintage, traveling, psychology and philosophy.
I also like to go to musea, theatre and lectures.
Kelly is my middle name, but in most of my work I use my middle name instead of my surname, for it's easier to remember and to announce.
If you're curious about the details, you can read my biography. Or if you want to know more about my education and experiences, take a look at my CV.

About the blog

I started this website to create a space where I can show all my work, but it also stimulates me to improve my skills. Why is that? Well, for example, I'm making paintings since I was a kid, but I didn't really got better at it over the years. No one saw my paintings so there was no feedback and no direct reason to grow. Since I started this website where I show everything I create, I'm more motivated to improve my skills.

For I am a photographer, visual artist, (screen)writer and filmmaker, I write about the process of improving my skills, about grabbing every chance I get to become more experienced and about learning from ups and downs. Besides that, I write about everything that inspires me, like movies, photography, psychology, literature and art. Ofcourse I will also give you a sneak peek of the projects I'm currently working on.
I hope to inspire others to be creative as well, work on their skills and chase after those dreams. |
