Born in Vancouver in 1975 to very creative parents, Esther made her way through her youth uninterested and seemingly unaffected by her parent's artistic influences. It wasn't until the early 90's when one day she picked up a paint brush and craft paints and never looked back. Immediately she turned to watercolours, and for the next 15 years, Esther's focus was painting the natural world. Today you can find her in her home studio passionately painting the west coast as she sees it. Being mainly self taught, she feels the freedom of not knowing the "rules" and just painting as her heart guides her.
