Naomi Shachar

Biography

The rigid lines of professional interior designing in which Naomi was educated upon inhibited her natural creativity and her personal inherent propensity to artistic self-expression, so she oriented her endeavors in her native Israel towards combining art with business by manufacturing and uniquely hand-painting ceramic-ware that was marketed in high-end exclusive stores around the country.

Arriving in Mission Viejo California, Naomi has further developed her artistic skills by studying color theory and practicing drawing and painting techniques. All of which contribute to the transfer of artistic visions to the canvas and onwards to the keen eye of the art viewer.
