About

Hey, I’m Nadya! The artist behind Angels Ink.

I live on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and a lot of my work is inspired by the place I get to call home. The ocean, the dunes, the lighthouses, the back roads, the wildlife, and yes; HWY 12, when Mother Nature decides to let us keep it.

Everything here starts with my own artwork and ideas. I wanted to create Outer Banks designs that feel a little different from the typical souvenir-shop stuff — pieces inspired by what it’s actually like to live here, love this place, and occasionally wonder whether the road will still be there tomorrow.

You’ll also find designs inspired by the other things I love, because Angels Ink has never been about fitting into one neat little box. It’s simply a place for me to turn my artwork into things people can wear, use, display, and hopefully love as much as I loved creating them.

Most shop items are made to order, which means I don’t have boxes of mass-produced merchandise sitting around waiting to sell. Your item is produced specifically when you order it.

Thanks for supporting an independent artist and the slightly chaotic creative brain behind Angels Ink.

Just an artist trying to make a name.
