It’s been a sunny start to summer, where longer days are spent under plentiful sunshine. The ocean has embraced the heat, so spending time in the water is as relaxing as on land. One after another, waves roll in, and the only question on your mind is ‘over or under?’

Writing about art, memory, and the moments behind each piece.

Nicole Hammer Art

I N T R O D U C I N G

“My work is about holding onto the feeling of a moment, the kind you wish you could step back into.”

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.

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.
