Smith, Naomi

Naomi Smith, 32, was born in the small town of Pahokee, where the muck of South Florida breeds more than one kind of talent. A literary enthusiast since early childhood, Naomi wrote her first poem at the age of 10 and hasn't stopped since.

After being stationed in the Pacific Northwest during her brief stint in the United States Air Force, Naomi found breathtaking Western Washington the ideal place to set down her eclectic roots and cultivate inspiration.
