Q&A with Naomi Young

Hi Naomi, thank you for exhibiting your beautiful artworks with us at The MAIN. Tell us, how long have you been creating?
I’ve always loved art. My love affair with art started only 22 years ago when I registered my youngest son for an art class and there I learned to paint, with him and other eight-year-old kids.

Tell us about your favorite medium.
It’s hard for me to pick a favorite medium. For my upcoming art exhibit “TEXTURA” I’ve been experimenting with many mediums and textures including acrylic, oil, colored pencils, soft pastels, alcohol inks, watercolors, hand-woven textiles, and mosaics. It’s allowing the child in me to have fun doing art since I had no art supplies as a child.

What is your favorite piece of work that you’ve created?
My new passion is mosaic, which is an ancient art of creating images from tiles. Coming from Israel, I connect to this art that has been done for thousands of years. My favorite piece is a text that I created from mosaic tiles. It looks like a broken, ancient text on a mosaic floor that was just excavated from the earth. It’s showcased in a glass case as an authentic ancient museum piece.

What would you say is the most challenging thing you’ve created?
The most challenging piece of art is a 54” w x 15” d table that I crafted over 4 1/2 months during COVID-19. It’s a pastoral landscape of a field full of flowers with a boy flying his kite and a girl picking flowers outside their home. It’s made from thousands of broken glass tiles.  Working with daily bleeding fingers wasn’t easy but the result was extremely rewarding.

Where you find inspiration for your artwork?
I find inspiration in the beauty of nature around us, particularly in my landscapes and Seascapes paintings. I hope my colorful and beautiful art brings joy to my viewers and it lifts their spirit.
