About Naomi

Naomi Bean makes art as a way to bring people together. Her art journey began through pain, fear and isolation. Art where her voice felt unheard, a testament to unrecognised and unacknowledged feelings and emotions. A self-taught artist, the medium varies in the same way a story would vary depending upon the audience. Autistic and diagnosed with a chronic illness (multiple sclerosis, MS) many years ago, it was hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) which broke her, which started the art journey. Before this, she was a scientist.

The art is a release of emotions, and she has found it is a shared language supporting others going through similar struggles, helping people feel less alone. For the first open call she submitted to, in 2024, the piece was stolen. It was depicting her damage due to MS. Since then she has had a number of pieces accepted in open calls, been long and short listed for several awards, as well as having her first solo show in 2025.
