Arts Whistler has kindly let us share these fantastic videos introducing Whistler artists – you can see the original Backdrop Sessions post on The Gallery at the Arts Centre website.

If you’ve spent any time cruising around the village you’ve likely come across artist Andrea Mueller‘s vibrant paintings punching up the atmosphere in coffee shops and galleries. Her work speaks to many through it’s exploration of connection- between us, animals, memory, the environment and other themes. Not one to settle, she has an experimental attitude towards her work, trying new mediums and breaking all the rules like painting with fingers. If you want to have as much fun creating as Andrea does you can sign up for one of her workshops.

Andrea is a big supporter of the Whistler arts community and we have her to thank for producing the Backdrop Sessions series. You’re awesome Andrea!

Nikkey got her start in Whistler as an outdoor guide and the habit of talking about the place has clearly stuck. Whistler’s general laid-back lifestyle and immediate access to fun is what’s kept her around. When not hanging out on the Whistler Insider team Nikkey works as a freelance creative for outdoor and wellness brands. Nikkey’s favourite Whistler animal is the marmot- she just wants to pinch those fluffy cheeks! (but never would because she respects wildlife and really likes having her fingers attached to her hands.)
