Welcome to all my new followers! 🌊
Here’s a little 👋 hello and a rundown about me. I’m Erin, an artist and designer originally from Richmond, Virginia, now living in Kitty Hawk. I’ve called the Outer Banks home for over 18 years, but my love for this place started much earlier. I grew up visiting Hatteras, and during college I started spending my summers here. I always knew there was something special about the OBX and always wanted to live here full time.
Before starting Salty INKS over five years ago, I worked in branding and logo design. Now I get to bring that creative background to colorful art inspired by the places, landmarks, and little details that make the Outer Banks feel like home—and create meaningful mementos for visitors to take home.💜
Thanks so much for being here and supporting my work. I’m truly grateful for each of you! ☀️
🙏A special thank-you to Avery Harrison who recently started a photography series celebrating women 50 and over. I’m so grateful she included me and captured this photo, giving me a chance to share a little more of my story with you.
