Esther Loopstra

Esther Loopstra is a painter and writer living in Seattle. In 2007 she received her BFA from Minneapolis College of Art and Design and had a prolific career as an illustrator until turning her attention toward fine art. She now works primarily in mixed media, exploring ideas around the interconnectedness of our bodies, the environment, and the mystery of the infinite.

She is passionate about exploration and uses various textures, collage and mediums to convey the sensuality of connection.
