Creation is a practice of attention. Naomi’s work is guided by listening — to land, to material, and to the quiet information held within each place.

She works on wood for its grounding connection to the earth. The surface offers weight, texture, and history, anchoring each piece even as layered materials and imagery unfold above it.

Aerial imagery and ArcGIS mapping are integral to her mixed-media process. Using drone-captured perspectives and spatial data, Naomi translates topography, boundaries, and land patterns into tactile, hand-made paintings. What is typically viewed as technical or analytical becomes intuitive, emotional, and embodied through mark-making and material.

Paper maps and dense layers may partially veil the wood, but its presence continues to hold the work — connecting each piece back to land, gravity, and place.

Each work is an offering of attention — a way of listening, honoring, and protecting what is often overlooked.
