Hi, I’m Naomi Griffin, a 25-year-old full-time artist based in Los Angeles. Since 2016 I’ve been an apprentice to Rob Prior, learning a wide range of fine art techniques, studio workflow, photography for painting references, and how to run a creative space. Today I manage Rob Prior’s art studio, mentor five apprentices, and take on commissions for album and book covers, posters, murals, and more. I also perform live painting at events and routinely document my process through content creation and livestreams to connect with audiences and support my studio practice. Beyond creating art, I love teaching, collaborating with designers and brands, and growing communities around art. My practice blends hyper-realistic traditional techniques with digital tools like Photoshop, and I thrive in high-energy live environments—from on-stage painting to live-streamed sessions and sales. I’m excited to continue growing as an artist, educator, and studio leader.
