Keep the hand.
Change the outcome.
Conservation asks for discipline. Original art asks for instinct. Sophie’s practice sits at the intersection.

About the practice
America’s youngest art conservator
America’s youngest art conservator
SophieKroeker.
An Omaha-based artist and conservator working across conservation, restoration, original work and private commissions.
Kroeker Art is built around preserving the integrity of each object while respecting the artist’s original vision — cleaning, repair, stabilization and preservation, with careful craftsmanship and thoughtful treatment decisions.
That same attention carries into the studio, moving between graphite, charcoal, paint, color and mixed media. One practice, two purposes: protect the work that already matters, and create the work that comes next.

How a project movesClear process.
Clear process.
No mystery.
Same start whether you need a damaged artwork cared for or a new piece created: show the work, explain what matters, set the constraints.
- 01Look
Send the brief.
Photos, dimensions, materials, damage or a commission idea — enough context to understand the work.
- 02Assess
Define the approach.
Sophie reviews scope, risks, medium, size, deadline and the level of finish or intervention required.
- 03Make
Do the work.
Conservation is documented and restrained. Commissions are developed around an agreed direction and medium.
- 04Return
Deliver it right.
Finished work is prepared for pickup, delivery or shipment with care guidance where relevant.
