How it started…

Naomi Poirier is a painter based in Québec City. She did not come to art through a straight path but by following her own curiosity. Painting started as something private, a way to slow down and notice the small details of life. Over time it became more than that. It became a way for her to understand the world and share her vision with others. At the beginning of 2024, she decided to quit her full-time office job to pursue her art career full-time.

Her work is inspired by the everyday. Naomi is drawn to familiar objects and ordinary moments, the ones that often go unnoticed. A table set for a meal, the changing light in a room, the quiet rhythm of daily life are the scenes that spark her imagination. On the canvas they are transformed into colorful compositions full of warmth and intimacy.

What matters to her is not grand stories but the small joys. Her paintings hold on to details that might seem simple yet carry emotion and memory. Each piece offers a pause, a sense of comfort and sometimes even a spark of nostalgia. They are meant to bring brightness into homes and lives and to remind people that beauty is always close by.

Over the years Naomi has grown her practice, sharing her work through exhibitions, collaborations and with those who collect her paintings. For her, painting is both a personal need and a way of connecting with others. Through it she celebrates the overlooked and gives shape to the meaning found in ordinary life.
