Naomi is a visual artist and graphic designer who explores ethereal matter through curious creatures and characters - think contorted limbs, spindly hands and unexplained tentacles floating in an eerie utopia. Heavily influenced by her interest in spirituality and her love for music and nature, her designs are typically characterised by bold colour and distorted proportion. Her work is playful, portraying stories and embodying emotions through a childlike lens, dissecting different subject matter from historical symbolism to humour, and music to madness.
