Welcome

Welcome to lifewithnaomi.  My name is Naomi and I live in Dallas, Texas.

The basics: I love fashion, art, and 1960’s films.  

Most of my work is digital photography or photo polymer prints, however, every once in a while I venture into the world of digital design and drawings.    The artists whom have greatly inspired me are Goya, Andy Warhol’s album covers and movies, Annie Leibowitz’s portrait work, Ansel Adams’s landscapes, and Matisse, Yves Klein and Manet’s use of color. 

My work is inspired by the color of nature’s power and world architecture.  In the past couple years my travels to Ephesus, Timbuktu, and Taos, New Mexico have become the main focus of my photography.  Two other influences are ruins and cathedrals.  My interested was peaked on a trip to Turkey, the summer of 2008, when I visited the ancient Roman city of Ephesus.  I was particularly taken by the combination of the undulating landscape wit the symmetrical ruins.  Over time I have continuously been drawn to a bright blue sky similar to Yves Klein’s blue.  Even if the piece’s subject is something as contemporary as a car, I try to capture the boldness of a clear blue sky.

This past year I have begun to explore printmaking, in particularly the process of photo polymer plate-making. 

A resumé is available upon request.

“The dominant invades the entire picture, as it were. In this way I seek to individualize the color, because I have come to believe that there is a living world of each color and I express these worlds.”
