Tucked down a pretty lane above Tenby Harbour, Naomi opened her own studio gallery in 1998.
The gallery is open from 11 - 5 Wednesday to Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday) and hosts an ever changing collection of watercolours using traditional and innovative techniques.
The natural beauty of Pembrokeshire provides much of the inspiration for her work, while travels around the world have formed the subject of many solo exhibitions in London, Italy and France.
Naomi explains, “Watercolour never ceases to amaze me. It’s unpredictable, spontaneous, independent, adamant and wilful and you have to be in a state of extreme alertness – to make snap decisions, to take risks, to not be afraid to lose something. To accept what’s given and work with it. To let. To watch. To be very present.”
