Born in 1976, Naomi Droll (nee Lake) is an artist based in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia, on Dharug and Gundungurra traditional land. Her practice is primarily focussed on drawing and printmaking, enjoying the layers and shadows that using a limited colour palette affords her. Naomi attended the prestigious College of Fine Arts (now known as University of NSW School of Art and Design) in the mid 1990s, winning the Oxford Art Printmaking award in 1997 and graduating in April 1999 with a Bachelor of Fine Art Education (Honours). Naomi exhibited work throughout her years as a secondary and tertiary student, more recently in group exhibitions in 2024 and 2025, and as a finalist in various prizes in 2026. She is currently enjoying her resurgence as a practicing artist after raising a family.<\/summary>\n
