The Artist Behind the Work

A Life Spent Observing and Creating

Susan Weaver has spent a lifetime drawing what she loves: animals, wild places, and the quiet details that make each living thing distinct.

Her work spans wildlife studies of birds, horses, foxes, and bears alongside custom pet portraits, all executed primarily in colored pencil and watercolor. She brings a teacher's patience and a naturalist's eye to every piece, building up color layer by layer until the subject comes alive on the page.

Before dedicating herself fully to her studio practice, Susan spent several decades as an art teacher in public schools, sharing her passion for creativity with young students and nurturing the next generation of artists. Her deep commitment to arts education left a lasting mark on countless students, and that same patience, care, and love of the craft is visible in every piece she creates today.

Susan has an unparalleled connection to the natural world. From birds and wild horses to foxes and bears, the creatures she encounters, both in person and through the work of fellow wildlife photographers, find their way into everything she creates.

Whether you're looking for a heartfelt tribute to a beloved pet or a beautiful work of art that brings nature into your home, Susan's creations are designed to inspire and delight. Custom orders are warmly welcomed, allowing you to collaborate with Susan to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece tailored just for you.
