About the artist

Naomi Cooke-Fleming is from Cornwall and Australia, and now lives in East London. Her life has been quite nomadic and she has lived in many places, and this background has an influence on her work.

She has exhibited in Working with Bronze exhibition (2019) and has collaborated with several clients in private commissions. As an illustrator Naomi has worked with companies including Kia, Coca-Cola, McDonalds and many others.

"The brevity and fragility of our lifetimes compel me to experience and notice the wonder and mystery that can be found in the world. From the beauty and grandeur of nature to the small moments and memories in day to day living.

My art is a response to this, it forces me to pay attention and allows me to share my experiences and sense of wonder with others. These feelings and experiences often feel familiar as a shared truth of what it is to be human. My photography, poetry, and painting explore and record this world, its landscapes, memories, places and stories.

Processes I use are intuitive and experimental, combining chance with designed elements to resolve ‘problems’. The large canvasses I often work on are immersive and aim to create dialogue with the viewer."
