In-House Featured Artists

---

Naomi is a Canadian born, Caribbean raised artist and has been working with gems and developing her unique style since 1999.  Inspired by her deep love of gems & minerals, the never ending colour pallet, the textures, patterns and reflections in both the natural mineral formations and the cut or carved gem, there is always something that enlivens her creativity! 

She carefully hand selects each stone and loves to find rarities & mineral oddities to include.  As much as is possible, she loves to work with materials mined &/or cut in North America. More than half of the cut stones she works with are cut or carved by local North American artists and of those, about half are also mined here.

The designs are a beautiful juxtaposition of the rough, natural stone, accented by the cut, classic gem. Her intricately hand woven wire wrapped design has been described as "flowing organic lines with simplicity in it's complexity..... art fashion" ...  Naomi is said to be, "...one of the more successful proponents and pioneers of this rich style" (Bonham's & Butterfields).   She says she just wants to live by her passions!!
