Naomi Hobson Artist Talk
As part of the Perspective – 2023 Queensland Regional Art Awards Touring Exhibition by Flying Arts Alliance, join the 2023 QRAA Mervyn Moriarty Landscape Award Winner, Naomi Hobson, for a free artist talk at Court House Gallery.
Naomi Hobson is an artist practising in painting, photography and ceramics. She resides in Coen on the banks of the riverbeds her grandparents were born. Her residence is an old tin shed that was once her village church. Her colourful abstract compositions act as a link between individuality and a shared identity, her photography grapples with Indigenous identity and social issues confronting Indigenous peoples while her ceramics are a modern expression of her ancient culture. Her continual inspiration is the vast traditional lands of her ancestors surrounding the town of Coen in Queensland and her culture. More recently, Naomi is further inspired by her travels throughout South-east Asia.
Registrations are recommended however we will also warmly welcome walk ins on the day.
