Naomi Oken worked as a graphic designer, product designer and a computer graphic instructor before transitioning to her current profession as an art teacher and a painter. Naomi’s art is meant to capture the beauty of the world and evoke lively, yet soothing feelings of a place, object, or idea. She enjoys the process of mixing colors to create a unique and arbitrary color palette that illustrates the mood of the subject. As a teacher, Naomi enjoys motivating her students to express themselves through the arts by building their skills and opening their minds to new ideas.
