No matter the country or age, the blank page has always stirred her curiosity. Yes, and she's still curious. Why paint? Why not? Walk back with her to life over a decade in Asia as time smells frothy and busy with metropolis sounds.  Whether from the aroma of bubbling hot ginger soups or the local bakery mochi and sesame balls, life rolls in present tense as memories navigate creativity. Together let’s watch the rice fields as the heads sway and flow row upon row.  Near Eui Jong Boo City, S. Korea, their lanes stage up nearby hills, minty greens in a summer’s dance. Come with her as art and words sandbox in life together…

Trusted by brands for her unique style, some of Susan's designs are in licensed agreements (both exclusively and non). Whether for your wall art, wall paper or other surfaces she welcomes you to this warm place, to ponder and consider designs for your products, or home!

Many designs are in repeat pattern and others, could be!  Let's talk!

Florals, fruits,  & animals often meet her palette with ideas for stationery, wall art, wall paper and wrapping paper. Many designs are featured in collections and available in seamless repeat patterns.

Florals, Coastals, Animals

Gestural watercolor and digital florals capture natural elegance, offering versatile designs.

Susan paints many florals and they are dear to her heart! 

Having grown up going to the Gulf Coast regularly, the ocean spray across morning beach walks still feels close. Close  enough to need a towel or at least suntan lotion!  Her Starfish and Sand Dollars among 30 + other designs are now available via Stupell Industries.

Having lived in South Korea over a decade and then on to Hong Kong, the tropical setting of the latter still visits her in floral and fauna.

 Travel, Food & Nursery

 Inspiration for food and travel designs come from the heart and many miles of pounded roads...and air.  Whether in Europe, Afghanistan, or Asia, they spring from places, things, emotions that matter. Though the paint has dried and the bags are unpacked (for now) the feelings still lie close to the design. 

Imagine, with her, the stories, the tales that never drift far from the paint.

Holiday,
Gift Wrap & Whimsical

 Combining themed like motifs enhance ideas for wrapping paper and other products.

Digital florals grace her wallpaper designs available through The Savvy Decorator/ Grace and Gardenia

Early days found her headlong into watercolors, a medium that flows rich in water and imagery. 

Later she added digital designs (with no AI assistance) and loves to dream and paint of patterns and places that still tease her memories.
