The Kristin Kueber Artist Story
In this episode of Rural Unrecognized, we chat with Kristin Kueber, a rural Alberta artist who has turned her love of painting into a growing business. Kristin shares how her small-town upbringing and connection to rural life have shaped her art, which captures the beauty of western and agricultural lifestyles. Her work speaks to the nostalgia and charm of country living, drawing inspiration from the world around her.
Kristin talks about how much support she’s received from her community. In small towns, neighbors and friends are often the first to cheer you on, and for Kristin, this encouragement has been key to building her confidence and success. She also highlights how this support makes rural living special, creating a sense of belonging and connection that fuels her creativity.
Kristin sees her journey as a "long game," focusing on steady progress rather than instant results. She shares how this mindset has helped her stick with her art, even during challenges. By staying consistent, building her skills, and drawing inspiration from daily life, Kristin has developed a solid process for her work. She also benefits from being part of a mentorship group where artists support and learn from each other, which has helped her grow both creatively and professionally.
In addition to her paintings, Kristin has expanded her business to include products like prints and tote bags, making her art more accessible while staying true to her rural roots. Her story is a reminder of how small-town support, hard work, and a love for what you do can lead to something amazing.
