Firstly, Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my website! It is a work in progress so I hope you'll bear with me as I continue to muddle my way through . . . 

I am a self-taught Artist/Illustrator from Orange, N.S.W who predominantly works in oils, though I started out with watercolours and still dabble in them from time to time. I have a passion for classical realism and am currently working on building up my body of work so hopefully I will have much more art to share with you in the near future. I am working hard every day to create unique and imaginative works of art. I love a challenge and believe in pushing beyond my abilities in order to continue to improve as an artist.

Some of my artworks have graced the walls of The Corner Store Gallery here in Orange as a part of group shows. I have also had a portrait in the National Portrait Gallery of Australia as a part of the inaugural Darling Portrait Prize (2020) and I currently have another self portrait in the Calleen Portrait Prize in Cowra, NSW.

In 2024 I will be holding another solo exhibition at the Corner Store Gallery here in Orange so keep an eye out for information regarding that.

Please feel free to contact me for any inquiries about artwork for sale, commissions or just to say Hi.

Naomi.
