Meet The Maker with Homemade Shoppe - Nina Kroeker Artist

We’ve started a new feature with Homemade Shoppe (46067 Princess Ave. - right behind District 1881) that is featuring local artisans in what they do/make and why they do it.

We’re so fortunate to have a shop like Homemade, which features 50+ local artisans and their goods, and goes out of their build an incredible, local micro-economy.

This feature is about Nina Kroeker:
Nature has always been my first inspiration, and the constant in my life that has kept me hopeful and calmed my soul. From my upbringing on the Canadian prairies, to small town Alberta, to the West Coast that I now call my home, there have always been elements of beauty that have comforted me. This connection is what inspired my first paintings, and still inspires me now.

As I go through life, certain places become representations of things I’ve gone through, and certain chapters of my life. A scene from a hike in the mountains becomes a representation of my struggle to build confidence, and a beach scene becomes a symbol of a need for a season of calm and rest. My paintings have become landmarks of my human experience.
