The OCEAN RIDGE Collection

There are some great fish right off the coast in Atlantic Beach, NC. Here are some we caught.

I've been fishing in the same spot for a long time.

I know how lucky I am. My family has been fishing on the same spot of beach in Atlantic Beach in the Ocean Ridge Drive area since I was a little kid. It is likely that someone from my family has fished from there every year since the 1970s. That’s a long time! So for my second collection of fish, I wanted to honor that spot in AB and create art based on actual fish people I know have caught. These fish are pretty representative of what we have been catching out there since we’ve been coming and probably what was caught there for thousands of years before that. 


I think that our spot on the beach at Atlantic Beach is one of the greatest places on earth, I am happy to share the Ocean Ridge Collection with you! The prints, pillows, hats and other items in this collection are all hand-drawn originals that were reproduced for display wherever fish are appreciated.

I saw this little lady at the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium over the July 4 holiday weekend. She was as pretty in person as she is here.

It is for sure summertime when we're catching these guys. Makes me think of warm water and hot sun.

If there ever was an angry fish, the bluefish is it. Kind of reminds me of a swarm of yellowjackets.

My cousin caught this awesome drum in AB. The spot is one of the most unique I’ve ever seen.

The largest dogfish I have seen was caught by my brother. We’ve caught hundreds of these and this one was giant.

My brother caught this Sheepshead in the surf using shrimp as bait. Its teeth look like really bad dental implants!

Look at this beautiful Summer Flounder my wife caught on Memorial Day. It is still swimming in the surf after a catch, pic & release.
