Fish Art and Naturalist Paintings by Nick Mayer

This Beaver Pond Brook Trout looks like it could swim off the page.

Nick Mayer has found a unique niche between the disciplines of Art and Biology. Nick’s undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology from Brown University allowed him to spend the earlier parts of his adult life working as a fisheries biologist, traveling around North and Central America studying and helping to improve fish populations.  Now his work is devoted to capturing these beautiful creatures on paper.

Tito Saenz Rozas Fly Fishing Art

Tito Saenz Rozas was born into a life of fishing. As the grandson of the late Jorge Donovan, Tito has a genetic link to fly fishing's aristocracy. Donovan was considered the dean of Argentine fishing, from the time that he and the legendary Joe Brooks introduced fly fishing in Argentina to the rest of the world. The history of their travels and the mark they left on Argentine fishing has inspired Tito as he has pursued his own fishing career, which he then blended with his art.

Tito also specializes in caricatures of fish and the people who catch them.
