Nick Lafarriere - Alberta, Canada
After fishwreck contacted Nick about creating artwork, starting with the Barramundi, Nick realized that he wanted to add catching one of these fish to his bucket list. Fishwreck initially reached out to Nick after seeing some of his exceptional work. Unfortunately, weeks passed without any reply, and we had given up hope of having him on board. To our surprise, Nick apologized for the late reply, explaining that he had been away guiding in the Arctic for 6 weeks. Since then, we have developed a strong working relationship and a great friendship with this young, talented, award-winning artist. Fishwreck owes a great deal to Nick, not only for his art but also for his insight and knowledge.
