Art is a search for the visual voice, the light, the spirit, the sounds or the aromas, the tensions of the moment. Naomi will search for a way to make a social statement, a way to challenge the viewer through her art. Naomi enjoys working with mixed media using a large variety of materials such as sand, grains, cloth, threads, lace, paper fibers, tissue paper, natural products and paint. Texture and colour, contrasts, elements of surprise, humor and pleasures are important to her.
