Jockie Loomer-Kruger
folk/naive ar-st
Jockie Loomer-Kruger is a folk/naive ar-st, recently returned to Nova Scotia after living elsewhere in Canada for many years.
Her whimsical folk art pieces are in collections across North America as well as in the AGNS and the art gallery of Acadia University. She has shown her work in group and solo shows in various places in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Ontario.
In 2016, at the age of 80, she published VALLEY CHILD - A MEMOIR, a collection of stories about growing up in Falmouth, Nova Scotia. The book contained 33 of her folk art illustrations and was published with the assistance of a grant from the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund.
Recently she gifted that art collection and rights to her book to the West Hants Historical Society.
Jockie moved to Truro in 2020 just in time to stay the blazes home with her paints and her assortment of found objects to keep her company.
