Jeff the Manatee: The Heart of The Tidal Hue Project™️ (Holiday Edition)
Meet Jeff — The First Ambassador of The Tidal Hue Project™
Jeff wasn’t chosen… he was called.
For years, my daughter begged me to paint a manatee. I kept saying, “someday.” But God has perfect timing, and when The Tidal Hue Project began forming in my heart, I suddenly knew:
Jeff was meant to be the very first ambassador.
His calm nature, gentle presence, and symbolic connection to peace and restoration made him the perfect beginning to a storytelling mission built on faith, creativity, and conservation.
And now?
Jeff has captured hearts worldwide.
Two Collector Boxes sold. Two Awareness Prints sold. Countless people touched.
I never expected a watercolor manatee to change lives—but he has.
Why Jeff Matters (Especially Now)
November is Manatee Awareness Month, so it feels fitting that Jeff was the birth of this project.
Manatees face threats every day:
• Loss of seagrass
• Boat strikes
• Habitat changes
• Cold stress
• Pollution in their feeding grounds
Jeff’s story brings awareness with hope. Through faith-filled storytelling, he reminds us to see the beauty God placed in every creature—and our responsibility to care for them.

Jeff is the gentle beginning of something much bigger.
More species are coming.

And each one will illuminate a new facet of God’s coastal beauty.
