A Substack on art, memory, & choosing joy.

Meet the artist, Nicole Hammer! Smiling proud in front of her Saltwater painting collection, this body of work holds frozen moments of time watching waves roll in off the jetty in Avalon, NJ.

Nicole Hammer Art

I N T R O D U C I N G

Based outside of Philly & Avalon, NJ in the summer, Nicole’s concentration is coastal environments and the details within. Using her own photographs as references, her eye shines through in every piece, from pressing the shutter to laying down the final brushstrokes to her paintings.

Her work is inspired by the ocean, memories, and travel, although most of her inspiration comes from spending summers in her favorite place, Avalon.
