Artedit
Inspired by early work as a designer of woven tapestries, Botke's art often featured birds, particularly white peacocks, geese and cockatoos.[8] Later in her career, she moved from oils to watercolors, and also focused on still lives.[citation needed]
Botke exhibited regularly throughout the United States during her lifetime.[1] Her work has also been exhibited posthumously at the Irvine Museum[10] and the Museum of Ventura County.[11]
