Lot Bouwes is a Dutch illustrator and writer from Rotterdam. Her work is rooted in the beauty of nature, the enchantment of fairy tales, and the mystique of ancient stories. 
Her signature soft style comes to life through the use of pastel chalks. A medium that gives her illustrations a unique, dreamlike quality. The technique involves blending soft pastels into the paper with her hands, building up layers that require patience and persistence.
Her work is inspired by Waldorf school festivals, magical rituals, nature wonders, and timeless tales.
