Artist Statement

Naomi's Indigenous heritage brings a blend of the contemporary and mysterious together in many of her works. Always, bold colour and beauty are strong inspirational elements that help mould each painting. Often these ideas spring from dreams, visions and memories of her travels. Naomi’s equally comfortable with traditional scenes, through contemporary works.
