Born under a New York City sky one autumn day, Naomi Rosen chose an Israeli adolescence that forever set in her the desire to express what is truth in life.

As a young adult, Naomi explored the European landscape; old world cultures infused her as she immersed herself in learning mediums and textures of many an artistic venue.

The woman, Naomi, returned to America to range from place to place absorbing touch oriented graphic and fine arts, all the while doing battle with seizures and a manic depression that threatened to upend her balance and jeopardize her sanity.

Nevertheless, the richness of Naomi's curiosity drove her toward ever more dramatic experiences; rendering her perception of what is real in startling and often thought provoking creations.

A New Mexico sanctuary soothed and kneaded Naomi's vivid sense of color and design. The portraiture series represents proof of the past intertwined with the unsettling world we live in today. Naomi's most recent series of abstract paintings moves us into another dimension; yet she continues with the same deep desire to provide testament to what we may or may not choose to see about ourselves. Her innate ability to peel back our social layers, exposing our commonality with dignity and honor sets her apart: a gem among stones of a very ordinary nature.

Today Naomi lives in Texas with her beloved Bob and God's perfect creature, Max aka Yoda, where her art continues to bear witness to what is sometimes uncomfortably true, albeit compellingly human about you and me.
