Loes Botman

Loes Botman is a Dutch artist who trained at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and then specialized in pastel. She draws the colors straight from her hands and is drawn to the simplicity of the medium. Since 2004 she has also worked in pastel on panel, a demanding technique that lets her pieces be shown without glass, like paintings. Animals are her passion, and she uses pastel chalk to capture and convey their soul. She has held more than 270 exhibitions worldwide, and her work appears regularly in art magazines such as Atelier. She illustrated the Bird Messengers Oracle.
