About the artist…
Nafi is a self-taught artist from St. Simons Island, Georgia. She sold her first prints, a watercolor of flower pots, when she was just 12 years old. After she graduated from Georgia Southern University, she created art for her first home as she began her career as a teacher. Interestingly enough, this is also when her art career began to take off! A coworker saw and loved her paintings, and Nafi got her very first set of commissions—a marsh scene, a pair of crabs, and oysters. And from there her art journey took on a life of its own...
In July of 2023, Nafi moved to Watkinsville, Georgia; however, she continues to create mostly coastal art using acrylic paint on canvas to reflect the culture and beauty of the coast where she grew up. She also enjoys doing pet portraits and painting other special memories including house commissions.
