About Gulf Coast Inspired

Gulf Coast Inspired grew out of my lifelong love for the Gulf Coast—its wild beauty, its stories, its people, and the quiet strength woven into everyday life here. Today, this space reflects my heart as a writer, photographer, and faith-rooted creator. I share children’s adventures, coastal stories, devotionals, photography, and coloring books that celebrate hope, imagination, and the simple joys of living along the Gulf.

As a woman aging alone and navigating new seasons with God’s help, I also write openly about resilience, faith, creativity, and finding purpose later in life. My hope is that something here encourages you, makes you smile, or inspires you to keep going in your own journey.

 From playful children’s adventures to faith-filled devotionals and coastal coloring books, my writing reflects the heart of life along the Gulf. I create stories that spark imagination, offer encouragement, and celebrate the beauty God placed all around us. My series include the Nae Nae & Lulu Adventures, Drawn To… coloring books, Bayou Adventures chapter books, and Guided By devotionals — each one crafted to inspire joy, calm, and creativity for readers of all ages. 

 Creativity has always been at the heart of my life. Through photography, I capture the wildflowers, shorebirds, and quiet corners of the Gulf Coast that inspire so much of my art and writing. In my studio, I bring those moments to life through crafts, illustration, and coloring book designs — each one rooted in the beauty of our coastal home. Music is woven into my journey as well; playing and sharing hymns remains one of the sweetest ways I worship and encourage others. Together, these creative expressions form the soul of Gulf Coast Inspired and the work I love sharing with you.
