This piece represents the lies we collect about ourselves, the stories we grow to believe as our truth. The little girl in the corner, wearing the dunce cap, reflects the weight of self-doubt, shame, and the narratives we internalize over time.

We place ourselves in the corner, thinking we belong there, shaped by beliefs that never were ours to begin with.

But this doesn't have to be our reality. With courage, we can heal from these lies and look to the future with hope, stepping out of the shadows into the light of possibility.

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.
