Laugh

Hi, I'm Ann-Margret! My work brings together my passion for creativity (whimsy) and my commitment to truth (wisdom). . . my formula for seriously joyful living!

I’ve been writing professionally for over 25 years and illustrating colouring books since 2015. I’ve written hundreds of articles and have authored, co-authored, or illustrated multiple books, several of them bestsellers. I serve as Executive Editor of the Christian Freelance Writers Network blog and am in the process of developing my art business: Buttercup Design Studio. I also serve as an advisor on the board of the Evangelical Press Association.

Find my books in my online shop, hang out with me on Facebook, and subscribe to my free weekly e-newsletter Whimsy & Wisdom to receive inspiration in your email inbox every Monday morning. Sign up and get TEN of my colouring pages for free! (Click here to see past issues.)

In a time of destruction, create something.

I really love Ann-Margret’s drawings. Restore My Soul has beautiful illustrations and meaningful devotions.  I have bought all of her books and love them all.
