Naomi was born and raised in New York City where she began her education in fine arts at the High School of Music and Art and later graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Visual Communications and Illustration. After years of working as a graphic designer and primary school teacher, Naomi recommitted to her art practice after the birth of her son and daughter and in 2017 the family relocated to Dublin, Ireland where they currently reside in the seaside village of Howth.
Naomi’s painting practice explores geometric abstraction with a focus on color relationships and the composition of unique forms. Using acrylics and raw pigments on wood panels, she explores the fragmented nature and interconnectivity of organic and manmade objects. By deconstructing images into distinct components, Naomi aims to capture the essence of how elements come together to form unified systems that incorporate a sense of movement and depth within an otherwise still and two-dimensional medium.
Since moving to Ireland Naomi has exhibited her work in multiple group shows including the Royal Hibernation Academy’s annual exhibition for which she has been selected for the past six consecutive years and has been an invited artist at the Taylor Gallery. She was awarded a residency in printmaking residency at Graphic Studio Dublin from the Fingal Arts Office from whom she has also received funding as a recipient of the Artist’s Support Scheme. Naomi’s work is held in the Fingal Municipal Art Collection as well as in many private collections internationally.
