About Nomi Wagner
Using a unique medium that combines traditional watercolor painting with fine art digital technology, artist Nomi Wagner of Mandalay Beach, Oxnard is a pioneer in the world of high tech art. She specializes in portrait paintings of children, adults, families, and pets. A graduate of USC as a dental hygienist, she ultimately found her calling in the arts as a professional portrait photographer at studios in West Los Angeles. She later developed her digital watercolor technique while studying traditional portrait panting at the California Institute of Art. She has sold many of her paintings to Ventura County residents and was deeply honored to have her painting chosen for the 2017 California Strawberry Festival poster. The painting depicts a romantic picnic of luscious Oxnard strawberries and wine on the dunes at Mandalay Beach, with Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands in the background. Her goal was to show “the joy of living here in our beautiful and bountiful Ventura County.”
