“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.
