About the Creators

Elvira Koetsier

Elvira Koetsier is a self-taught artist, based in Rowley, MA. At the moment, she is a full-time mom of a toddler and a part time artist, who finds her inspiration through her nature walks with her baby, board books, animation movies and nursery rhymes. In her art work, you can see lots of colors and the whimsical world of her imagination. The vision behind her art is to experience child-like joy and a world full of magic and wonders. She rebels against “growing up” and leaving that inner child behind. Her love for colors and vivid imagination could be seen in her art.
