About the Artist

Hi—My name is Naomi VanDoren.

I am an artist and author. I have self-published 9 art books and illustrated and authored a series of illustrated novels, the first of which was published in 2020.

I grew up in Indonesia and spent 14 years of my childhood in remote tropical regions.

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.
