About the Artist
Naomi Hart
Minnesota based Encaustic artist, Naomi Hart grew up in remote places where the natural world became her education and her refuge. Naomi splits her time between studios in Minnesota and Wisconsin where she combines an extensive arsenal of techniques to what she calls “visual storytelling”. With an MFA in Printmaking, Hart developed a unique process that introduces her detailed etchings and drawing skills as a foundation to encaustic hot wax painting. Hart has won numerous awards through the exhibition of her Encaustic Mixed Media artwork which uses surrealism, collage, deconstruction and symbolism to convey her vision. Hart's work depicts her commitment to living an intentional life despite the challenges of recovery and mental health diagnosis. Using symbolism from nature, she conveys the human condition with hope. "I have an insatiable need to embrace life with honesty and passion. I portray possibilities and potential in opposition to the stigmas attached to mental health.
