A Bit About Naomi and Jay

Naomi Marino and Jay Blums met while studying and teaching traditional painting methods in Florence, Italy. After five years in Tuscany and a short time in Hamilton, Ontario (Jay’s hometown), the couple relocated to Sebastopol in 2012. They continue to teach art privately as well as work on commissions and passion projects while raising their daughter. Together, they bring over 30 years of combined teaching experience to Sonoma County.
