Hello, I'm Naava.

I am a painter and illustrator who makes emotional and inspiring art about motherhood and childhood.

This is what I’m sure of: The connection we have with our children is the deepest love story we'll ever know. 

Like so many of you, being a Mommy is an identity I treasure. I think we are brave and heroic and our stories deserve to be told. My art is a reflection of our shared experiences.

Drawing people has been my passion since I was a child.

And because everyone always asks: Naava is a Hebrew name and it means lovely.

Our children love to fit themselves into our personal space just when we think we have a moment to ourselves.

This new series of drawings is about letting our children in, and still holding on to what matters to us.
