Friedman’s career spanned fine arts,
commercial and fashion illustration,
and design. Her editorial fashion
work and commercial illustrations
were featured in international fash-
ion magazines, galleries, magazines,
and more. Nomi’s fine art varied from
commissioned floral, portrait, and still
life works, to the very painfully person-
al, visceral and spiritual “Deposition
Series.” Her commercial work included
high-end retail and restaurant brand-
ing, as well as fragrance, fashion, in-
terior design, and launch books. She
was also the illustrator for the clas-
sic “Emily Post’s Complete Book of
Wedding Etiquette.” Nomi was a schol-
arship graduate of the Philadelphia
College of Art – where she later taught
– and attended the Boston Museum
School, Boston University, and the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.

She studied with Emlen Etting, René
Bouché, Franz Kline, and others. Nomi
is survived by children, Bela Lisa, Seth,
and Joel and grandchildren, Lucas,
Hallie, and Yelena. The family will be
organizing an exhibit highlighting the
scope, power, and beauty of her work.
