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.
