Sport-fishing boats are every bit as beautiful as the fish they pursue, and no one renders images of boats more accurately, more tastefully and with more excitement than North Carolina’s Steve Goione. Along with the design of the boat itself, he can incorporate additional elements that make it a truly unique work of art, including a specific fish, the coastline of the home port, or even a favorite lure or bait, all layered in his unique style of pen-and-ink pointillism. stevetgoioneprints.com
