​Speaker Bio:

​Naomi (1984, Alkmaar) is a Dutch-Caribbean graphic designer and lifestyle illustrator with over 20 years of experience. She lives in Purmerend with her husband and young daughter, working as a freelancer. After going through an intense personal period, she turned to painting as a powerful outlet for emotion and creativity — drawing endless inspiration from the Caribbean. Her mixed media works, featuring acrylics, Aquadrop, neon ink, and gold foil, evoke the vibrant contrasts and shimmering beauty of Curaçao’s nature and culture.
