IVaonni Elton 2906 West Val Vista, Meridian, Idaho X3642 Home (20~) X55 030 Cell (20~) 4~4 9044 www.NaomiElton.com eltoncnakC)yahoo.com Landscapes, florals, still lifes, and architectural renderings decorate her studio while she contemplates each painting before she moves them out making roam for more new work. Peace and solitude found in nature are frequently depicted here. Vibrant color and subtle moods are used to take the viewer to places you can also visit. Naomi began painting in earnest when she retired from teaching in 2000. pier early work in oils gave her basic knowledge of color and design. By the time she started taking watercolor workshops from many of the most prominent watercolorists of our day she used what she was being taught along with the basic information learned earlier in oii painting. She admits to enjoying the camaraderie of fellow artists along with the intense instruction. Recent works incorporate the technique of pouring which requires more pre-planning and letting the color flow as it will. This unpredictability allows for excitement and spontaneity in her work. Naomi was born in Minnesota where she completed her degree at the university. She taught for Z4 years while raising three daughters in Alaska. After retirement she and her husband moved to Idaho. Following the years she served as president of Alaska Watercolor Society she became active in the Idaho Society. Naomi has served as co-president of Idaho Watercolor Society where she has also planned programs for groups in Idaho and Alaska since the 1980's. There have been many awards and honors, the most recent of which is Juror's Choice in the 2010 Idaho Watercolor Society's Annual Statewide Show. At a recent demonstration of her techniques a fellow artist asked, "Do you just travel around and paint what you see?" Her response was, "Not nearly enough, but what you see is where 1 have been and hopefully there will be many more places you can go with me:' ~~ ~ API®'IOiII ~C~i'~l(~IiSSICif~ ARTIST/®IiGANIZ~~ CON'~AC`t' !NF'® T!®t~: APPLICATION O~OERVIEW: Check all that apply: ^ Uwe propose to fill one half of Initial Point Gallery with two-dimensions[ artwork. /we propose to fill the entire Initial Point Gallery with two-dimensional artwork.
