Jaime caton Noia

My name is Jaime Noia (born June 29, 1972) and I have been surfing since I was 13 years old. That gives me over 24 years in the Ocean enjoying the beauty of creation from a unique perspective.

I am a self taught artist and I now try to apply my perspective of surfing on canvas through the use of brilliant colors (mainly acrylic and occasionally oil and other mediums).

I have been painting consistently for 4 years now and have shown my works in the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama.

My works have been seen on numerous websites, in tradeshows, videos, and in the "Surf Story" book project. I recently had the privilege of donating paintings as prizes for the Todos Santos Big Wave Event with two identical pieces going to the overall winner of the event as well as to the winner of the biggest wave ridden.

Other recent achievements include a time lapse video segment in the video "The Ripple Effect" by Glas Apparel and Films and a bonus segment in the surf video "Sons of Sickness" by Chad Towersey.

Goals for the near future are the continued push for surf art in the Northern Baja community of Ensenada, mural projects, video projects, and to continue to push my surfing and art to the next level.

My artwork adornes the walls of well known surfers such as Mark Healey, Gabriel Villaran, CJ Kanuha, Casey Brown, Rory Parker, and the legendary Reno Abellira.
