S3E18 – Juli Gilson: Teaching Artist at Coastal Creations
From her early days growing up in Ohio to her vibrant life on Pine Island, artist Juli Gilson has always been drawn to the coast. Her work beautifully reflects the natural gifts of the sea—seashells, sea glass, driftwood—and brings them to life in her paintings, driftwood sea creatures, birds, boats, and resin art. She even uses historic Pine Island windows as frames for her coastal creations.
In this episode, Juli shares how a life-changing accident and the challenges that followed led her back to her first love: art. With resilience and heart, she transformed adversity into inspiration—building a life filled with creativity, teaching, and community. Whether in her home studio or at local businesses, Juli now teaches art classes on Pine Island, spreading joy through every brushstroke.
☀️ Stop into @Island Flair in Matlacha to see her latest artwork in person, and follow @Juli Gilson and @Coastal Creations to explore more of her art and stay updated on upcoming events.
☀️ These are Pine Island businesses where Juli has taught art classes: @Island Flair, @Kickstand’s Pub & Grub, @Street Eatz & Ale, @Jug Creek Marina & Fish House, and @The Island Girl Eats
