Hi—My name is Naomi VanDoren.

I am an artist and author. I have self-published 7 art books and illustrated and authored the first illustrated novel in a trilogy.

I grew up in Indonesia and spent 14 years of my childhood in remote tropical regions. My travels have taken me all over the world including calling Japan home for 3 years.

My art revolves around imaginative worlds and reflects a deep desire to explore not only the world we live in but imaginative ones as well.
