According to Loots, she started her miniature watercolor painting while studying at the School of Business “Business Acumen for Artists. As she admits – to avoid creative stagnation. The pages she worked on are about 10 x 10 cm, and the images themselves vary from 8mm to 30mm high. When people asked “what would you do with something that small?”, she used to say they were made for ants.
