About the Artist:

Nicole Salva, a proud Bethany, Connecticut native, is not merely an artist but a dynamic force deeply intertwined with the ebb and flow of the ocean.

Beyond the canvas, Nicole's canvas is the open sea itself. As a passionate angler, she immerses herself in the world of fishing, not just as a means to source subjects for her gyotaku prints but as an intimate connection to the ocean and its diverse marine inhabitants. This firsthand engagement with nature shapes her artwork, infusing it with authenticity and a genuine love for the aquatic realm.

In her role as a high school art teacher, Nicole not only imparts artistic knowledge but also shares her profound admiration for the ocean. Her company, Reeled Ink, stands as a testament to her commitment to merging art and nature seamlessly. From gyotaku prints capturing the essence of marine life to apparel inspired by the vastness of the ocean, every creation is a reflection of Nicole's deep-rooted passion for the maritime world.
