Hello, I’m Susan. Founded in 2016, Merely Susan is an art studio that reflects my passion for painting and crafting textiles, as well as my enthusiasm for sharing this creative journey with others.

I focus on creating meaningful objects that are not only beautiful, but also deeply personal—imbued with stories and emotions woven into them. My primary objective is to offer creations that exemplify high artistic and craftsmanship value, whether it’s an original painting that becomes the focal point of your home or a thoughtfully designed fabric that transforms into something special in your hands.

Nature has always been my soothing refuge and a profound source of inspiration in my work. By drawing on nature’s captivating shapes, colors, and textures, my creations embody a quiet, elegant aesthetic that reflects the natural world as I see it. This connection goes beyond a theme—it’s a philosophy that guides both my art and my approach to conscious living.

To me, thoughtful design is about immersing myself in the creative process, dedicating the necessary time to refine every detail, and making intentional, considered choices. This approach extends to my commitment to sustainability, emphasizing natural materials and eco-friendly technologies. 

In a world that often rushes toward instant gratification, I embrace a slower, more intentional pace and greater sensitivity. Instead of following fleeting trends or mass-producing seasonal products, I prioritize quality over quantity, creating fewer but more meaningful collections. I hope to inspire my clients to choose timeless pieces that carry lasting artistic value.

Through Merely Susan, I aim to foster connections: with nature, with myself, with creativity, and with others—women artists, fellow homemakers, and all who appreciate celebrating the unhurried rhythms of a well-lived life. 

I warmly invite you to join me on this journey—whether as a collector of my art or a customer of my fabric shop—and become part of the Merely Susan community. Here’s to the joy found in doing something for the process.
