About

Naomi White (American, b. 2003) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work investigates women’s autonomy, resilience, and the political forces that shape reproductive rights. Rooted in research on contraception and reproductive autonomy, White examines the ways women's bodies have been sites of control, resistance, and resilience. Currently focusing on copper and medicinal plants —such as the Angelica flower, historically used as an abortifacient—to explore a sense of agency in a hostile political climate that has continued to create a space of unrest and uncertainty.
White is currently in her final year of undergraduate studies at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, pursuing a BFA in Sculpture. Her work has been exhibited at Stove Works Gallery, ICA Gallery, BFA Thesis exhibition at UTC, and published in Sequoia Review literary journal. Beyond her studio practice, she plans to obtain a Master’s in Museum Studies with a focus on collection management.
