Naomi Kate Singleton (b. 1997) graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a BA in Art History and a minor in Film and Television in 2020, and the Royal College of Art in 2025 with an MA in Painting.
Magentas, dusty pinks, and electric blues infuse the natural world with nostalgia and romanticism. Meanwhile, pockets of light breathe into the surface and parallel marks evoke natural rhythms. Through paint, Singleton records, interprets, and remembers–often through a rose-colored lens, where mountains cast dark cherry shadows and leaves turn cobalt blue.
Her work acknowledges humanity and nature as two inseparable entities. In the absence of figures, traces of them remain—in fences, footpaths, and untended growth. When figures do appear, they leap from rocks or vanish into hedges, existing as brief visitors to a world that endures.
The seemingly surreal use of color and form, combined with subtle hints of human life, creates an emotional terrain shaped by lived experience. The landscape bears the imprint of having been moved through—flickering between presence and memory, the personal and the universal.
