Esther Loopstra is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary artist and writer whose work explores the living structures that support us—both biologically and energetically. Drawing from her own experiences with chronic pain and trauma, she investigates how these networks sustain us, regulate us, and how they reflect the intuitive rhythms of growth, decay, and renewal.

‍

Rooted in a deep curiosity about how life moves through and around us, Esther’s practice spans visual art, performance, and writing. Each piece offers an immersive passage through the unseen networks that connect us, revealing abstract landscapes that invite deep, sensual discovery and transformation. She layers textures, materials, words, and motion to create intentionally ambiguous imagery that blurs the boundaries between our internal systems and the natural world.

She holds a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and has taught art and design for over a decade at institutions including Kent State University, Cornish College of the Arts, and Pacific Lutheran University. Esther is also a creative coach and co-host of the Flow Into Authenticity podcast.
