Nostalgia is a collection of oil paintings exploring the strong connection between nostalgia and grief. Naomi has sought to explore her own experience through the different lenses of still life, allegory and surrealism.

Naomi Lawler is an Australian-born artist living and working in Orange, N.S.W. Her detailed and meticulously painted artworks encourage the viewer to slow down and notice the inherent beauty of the seemingly mundane.

Naomi’s passion for the academic method and the study of the old masters has imbued in her an eye for the subtle shifts of light across form and the importance of composition in the development of a strong narrative. Each artwork tells a story personal to the artist but is also open to the interpretation of the audience.

Nostalgia is Naomi’s inaugural solo exhibition and will be on display at The Corner Store Gallery from March 10th to 21st with sales launching online at 8pm Tuesday March 9th via our website.

Get to Know Orange with Madeline Young

The Orange region in NSW sits smack dab between Parkes and Bathurst, due west of the Blue Mountains. It’s one of those rolling-green-hills kind of places, where every postcard vista looks like it’s been painted in watercolours. With the help of Orange360, we sat down with local artist, gallery owner and coffee fiend, Madeline Young, to get the low-down on everything Orange. Brace yourself for orchards. Lots of orchards.
