Hand-painted in Beamsville, Ontario

A little bit of happiness painted onto every stone.

Suzy's Nature Rocks is the small studio of Susan Emmett, an artist in Beamsville, Ontario. She paints garden stones and other little pieces one at a time — flowers, bumblebees, bluebirds and toadstools, whatever the garden is doing that week.

Little pieces with a lot of heart

Every stone is painted by hand, one at a time. No two are ever quite the same — and that's rather the point.

Painted by hand, always

Susan collects, washes, paints and seals each stone herself — small batches, slow work, real character in every one.

Straight from the garden

Daisies, bumblebees, bluebirds, toadstools — the designs come from what's actually growing and buzzing around Beamsville.

Made to make you smile

A pop of colour by the front step, a friendly face tucked among the hostas. Garden art that's meant to be found.

Meet the artist

Hi, I'm Susan Emmett

I live and paint in Beamsville, Ontario, tucked under the escarpment in the middle of Niagara's orchards and vineyards.

This started the way most good hobbies do — puttering in the garden, a box of paints on the kitchen table, and a stone that looked like it wanted a ladybug on it. One turned into a dozen, the dozen turned into a shelf, and now there's a whole little collection of them.

Each piece is painted slowly and sealed to live happily outdoors, among your plants or along a path. If something in the shop catches your eye, or you'd like a custom piece for your own garden, I'd love to hear from you.

— Suzy ♡
