Naomi Hobson

Australia

Naomi Hobson is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, photography and ceramics. She resides on the banks of the riverbeds in Coen, where her grandparents were born. This landscape is imbued with a marked political history, and had provided inspiration for Naomi’s paintings. Through her art, Hobson continues her family tradition of political and social engagement. Every brushstroke expresses the innate embedded cultures and country in her paintings. However, this specific link to place is brought about through a keen sense of her own individuality. Hobson has exhibited widely both within Australia and internationally since 2008. Her work has been acquired by various prestigious institutions and was recently the subject of a major tapestry commission produced with the Australian Tapestry Workshop for the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia.
