West Seattle Art Walk Featuring Naomi Cooper
Join us for the West Seattle Art Walk, Thursday, March 14 from 5-8pm featuring local artist Naomi Cooper. Meet the artist in store during art walk too! Naomi’s art will be on display all month long, so if you can’t make Art Walk, you can still stop by and view her colorfully abstract and geometric paintings.
About the Artist:
Naomi Jean Cooper creates art that evokes a dimension where space and time fold together in ways that are not easily understood.
Naomi’s creative process is a somatic spiritual practice driven by curiosity and desire. “When I tune into and trust the present sensations in my body, I enter a flow state that deepens my connection to the infinite, creative, compassionate energy that is both within me and beyond me.”
Her art is an invitation to be here now. It is an exploration of the natural cycles that are found in our bodies and throughout the cosmos: order and chaos, life and death, expansion and contraction. She sometimes uses elements of sacred geometry and ancient symbols to explore these themes. At times her work has direct references to traditional Celtic art, which aligns with her ancestry.
Naomi works in a variety of mediums including graphite, ink, acrylic paint, and digital methods. Each one provides unique expressions of her recurring themes.
Naomi enjoys creating in a variety of locations, and allowing the energy of the place to influence her work. She find this helps her stay curious and playful. She creates in her studio, in nature, in bookstores, during live music at local venues, and wherever else she may find herself with a little free time, a pencil, and a piece of paper.
Naomi is a Seattle-based artist who was born in Chicago, IL and split her childhood time between the Midwest and Washington State. She has a BA in Visual Communications from Judson University in Elign, IL (greater Chicago area).
