Naoko Stoop

Hello, world. I am a Brooklyn, New York based selftaught illustrator.
My artwork comes from everyday life in my neighborhood. I draw, paint and print in my little studio. Most of the materials I use are also from the neighborhood. I get inspiration from beautiful Prospect Park. It is also my second work place in summer.
I’m trying to bring out the five-year old in people through my artwork. Because I believe that is the last moment before children start learning how complicated the world is, and that was when I once stopped drawing. It took me decades to come back to myself.
Now? Here I am drawing everyday!
