The gilded coast studio

Meeghan was born and raised in Scarborough, Maine, where her love for the coast first took shape. In 2013, she relocated to the New Hampshire Seacoast, continuing to draw inspiration from the ocean’s effortless beauty—the soft palette of blues and neutrals, the rhythm of the waves, and the quiet luxury found in nature.

She now resides in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with her boyfriend, Tim, who shares her hometown roots, and their five-year-old mini Goldendoodle, Louis—an avid beach companion and, in his own way, a creative spirit.

With over a decade of experience in the insurance industry, Meeghan turned to art as a personal outlet, beginning with hand-painted shells. What started as a quiet creative escape quickly evolved as friends and family began requesting commissioned pieces. Each design became defined by a signature element—refined gold detailing—bringing a sense of understated elegance to natural coastal forms.

Today, her work reflects a balance of structure and creativity, transforming organic elements into timeless, elevated pieces inspired by life along the coast.

This is the essence of The Gilded Coast—where coastal forms are quietly refined, and each piece is finished with intention, elegance, and a touch of gold.
