Meet Susan Boras

I spent decades in corporate leadership before I found my way back to what my soul had always known. Now I paint stories of nature, memory, and the moments that remind us we are alive. My work is for those who want their home to feel like a sanctuary.

  • "My wife and I are so happy with the lavender field painting by Susan. Every time I gaze at it, it makes me want to step right into the canvas and run my fingers through the lavender, feel the warmth of the sun and go explore the cottage in the distance. The colors and thick textures make me want to reach out and touch every time I walk by! The painting has found its place front and centre in our living room where we can experience the overwhelming calmness. Susan’s beautiful soul shines through her art, and her passion and life experiences leap off the canvas. Thank you, Susan!"

  • "Susan did an outstanding job on our commission paintings of Penelope, the Mucklecoo muse for my great niece. The fun-loving spirit and happy feeling of Penelope shows through the chosen vibrant colours of yellow and soft blues. How exciting for a young girl to feel! From start to finish, Susan explained each process and benefits of size, dimensions, color, enhancement, and ensuring I’d receive the final product in a safe way. Susan is totally committed to showing her creative side and also providing excellent customer service. Thank you Susan."
