I'm Macey Rewis, the self-taught artist behind Salted Souls. I've lived in Savannah, Georgia my whole life, always fishing and shrimping with my father. Spending those days on the water is what truly shaped my love for nature and connected me to its vast wildlife. 

Through my watercolor and acrylic paintings, I aim to capture the small details of coastal living. Details that resonate with me and ultimately connect with others' love for the area. 

 I strongly believe in contributing to the health of our oceans as well. Since 2022, I have donated a percentage of my art sales to nonprofit organizations that remove harmful waste from the water.

When I'm not painting or fishing, I’m usually in over my head working on another house project! Being creative in all aspects of my life is what fulfills this Salted Soul!

You can find my work on my website, at The Tybee Art Gallery on Tybee Island, Ga, or at one of my exclusive pop-up shows in the surrounding area.
