Carlos and Naomi Valdivia met in art school and knew they were a
perfect match, in their personal lives and in business. They married,
got their BFAs, had a family, and continue their careers in Illustration
and Graphic Design in Southern California.
Naomi Valdivia is truly a Southern California artist, raised in Carson, CA,
went to highschool in Hollywood at Fairfax Visual Arts Magnet, and college
finishing with a BFA in Illustration from Otis College of Art and Design in Los
Angeles. She currently is a Graphic Designer and freelance Illustrator in
Camarillo, CA.
Her style is influenced by meshing cultures, as she is a living, breathing
mesh of cultures herself-specifically half Filipino, a quarter Japanese, and a
quarter Caucasian, and within those ethnicities, are countless mixtures. Her
work is
mostly digital, mixing the clean vector quality of Illustrator with the many
painterly possibilities of Photoshop.
She also mixes religious and Mexican themes in her work, most strongly
Dia De Los Muertos themes and aesthetics. She likes the idea of mixing
something that is beautiful with something that is seen as morbid-therefore
creating its own haunting and thought provoking beauty.
