Ocean Art Naomi

“My Heart and Soul are stained…with the inks of the Ocean” – Naomi

Born in Victoria Australia, Naomi grew up in the coastal town of Portland. Surrounded by the majestic seascapes of South-West Victoria, this was where her heart and soul first connected to the beauty and magic of Ocean and Sealife.

During her late teen years Naomi relocated to Melbourne. Following her passion for Art, Naomi continued her education in Art and Design, including an apprenticeship in Graphic Design and Print Reproduction. Naomi’s early career continued with a Graphic Design Studio and Printing company in North Melbourne. Whilst raising her family in Victoria, Naomi went on to work in the Residential Construction and Property Development Industry for the past 20 years. Sadly, Naomi’s husband passed away in 2014.

The loss of her husband redefined life as Naomi (and her daughters) knew it. Passionate about the gift of life and determined to “make every single day count”, Naomi chased new goals and dreams. In 2019 Naomi made the decision to move with her daughters to Queensland. Relocating to the majestic Sunshine Coast reignited Naomi’s love for all things Ocean and Sealife.

Naomi’s creative illustrative soul was calling out again after a (nearly) 30-year absence. “OCEAN ART NAOMI” was brought to life in January 2020. Inspired by the vast beauty and bold colours of the Ocean and Sealife of the Sunshine Coast, Naomi’s various works are created using Pencil, Acrylic Gouche, Acrylic Ink, Conte Pastel and Watercolor mediums.

Angela van Boxtel

Angela van Boxtel is a Dutch, (Noosa based) Eco Artist & Designer cleverly reusing waste materials and transforming them into sculptures, fashion, design & art pieces. Mostly focusing around the issue of plastic pollution in our oceans.

She has crocheted over 10.000 plastic bags into her work. Her ‘Teeny Greeny Plastic Bag Bikini’ has been acquired by the Manly Art Gallery & Museum historic fashion collection.

Her work opens up discussions about our environment and our behaviors within. She also creatively transforms broken surfboards into art pieces; her colorful surf chalkboards have been featured at many art, cultural, environmental & surf events.

Surfboards are made of Styrofoam – once broken they end up in landfill. We can enjoy the ocean but have a responsibility towards it. Away is not away, let’s talk, let’s care, let’s leave a legacy of a responsible surfing culture.

Tim Noles

I have always felt drawn to the creative arts from an early school age, as it allows me to reflect on and define my emotions, my thoughts and my passions. This passion flourished 17 years ago while travelling Australia where I saw so many diverse and ever-changing landscapes, coastlines and people.

I spent the last 10 years working throughout the Kimberley, Regional SA and NT giving a helping hand to Aboriginal people on the land of beauty and such indigenous history and this allowed me the time to absorb this dynamic environment and understand the encroaching nature. This has inspired the creation of art pieces that express my very personal beliefs and emotions, whether seascapes, landscapes or the people of Australia I am sharing something very personal through my work.

“I now live on the beautiful and scenic Sunshine Coast, an area which has provided me with so much creativity and a never-ending thirst for life. A place of ever-changing landscapes, from the roaring ocean to the peaceful hinterland. With a soul full of passion for creating, I now see life in everything. My dream, my hope, my goal is to show this to you whether it be an original piece or a limited edition print on a number of different media, to be a constant reminder that sits in your living room, boardroom and other public spaces revealing to you the beauty outside and each piece of art also has a written story that goes with it, so you can therefore enjoy and dream of the wonders, of the soul of this living land whether or whether not you have visit the particular areas.

Sculptures..

All pieces are inspired by the natural colours, shapes and textures found in the beauty of the sea. I select unique wood colours with patterned grain features and incorporate the natural live edges of the timber for a individual and unique design, then integrate a splash of colour by hand cutting each individual piece of glass to add to my designs reﬂecting the connection with the sea.
