About the artist
Naomi’s art has been seen in numerous venues in St. Louis since she began painting in 2009. Her work has also been shown in Lexington, Kentucky, Boston, Massachusetts, and Lyon, France. Naomi’s paintings can be found in private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
Naomi’s most recent work has taken her in new interpretive and technical directions. Still inspired by landscapes, she has developed a more minimalist (but no less complex) palate that allows her to confront shadow and light in new ways. Where her earlier work often draws on clouds, mists, filtered light and soft edges, Naomi’s recent explorations offer sharp edges and definitive shapes. These new works focus on snowy mountainscapes featuring stark contrasts of the white snow and rocks, contrasts that we often see at the extremes of the day—sunrise and sunset.
At the same time, these new works invite the artist and the viewer to engage with the primary challenge of painting—creating a three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional surface. Naomi employs swaths of what appear at a distance to be flat, monochromatic surfaces to evoke the mystery and majesty of solid mountain peaks and crevasses lit by equally flat light. Closer inspection reveals detailed brushwork and layered paint surfaces, carefully and meticulously applied. Like a monumental mountainside at sunset, Naomi’s new work offers starkly contrasting fields of blacks, greys and whites built of the smallest of individual shadows. Some viewers have noted the similarity of these new works to Chinese or Japanese calligraphy. The shadowed shapes can evoke calligraphic figures, but the meaning is nature’s own, created by light and shadow.
Naomi often works in saturatedcolors and many of her works, some of which have had a special resonance forinterior designers and decorators. While she considers her work fine art, Naomiis not doctrinaire about how it is viewed or appreciated. She welcomes theopportunity to reach viewers in a home or a gallery and has worked closely withclients on commissioned paintings.
