In this trompe l'ceil still life, I've captured the intricate process behind a self-portrait I painted last year. Inspired by the timeless elegance and delicate technique of Nora Heysen, I wanted to delve deeper into her style.

These carefully arranged sketches, photograph and postcard are more than just objects; they are a collection of the tools and stepping stones of my artistic journey. Each element reflects my passion for learning and my commitment to mastering classical techniques, bringing beauty and life to my work.

This piece is a tribute to the profound connection between study and creation, where every detail matters and every moment of learning is treasured.

Naomi is an accomplished Australian oil painter whose work epitomises imaginative realism, drawing heavily on the classical academic principles of the old masters. Rooted in a foundation of meticulous technique, Naomi's art is often autobiographical and allegorical, reflecting deep personal experiences of grief and faith.

With an emphasis on nostalgia and beauty, Naomi creates pieces that transcend mere aesthetics, inviting viewers to engage in critical thinking. Believing that art should be inherently beautiful regardless of its subject matter, Naomi strives to produce works that not only captivate the eye but also stir the soul.

Through her practice, Naomi endeavours to keep alive the timeless elegance of classical techniques while infusing them with contemporary relevance.
