Painted by hand, always
Susan collects, washes, paints and seals each stone herself — small batches, slow work, real character in every one.
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, bees, ladybugs, whatever the garden is doing that week.
Every stone is painted by hand, one at a time. No two are ever quite the same — and that's rather the point.
Susan collects, washes, paints and seals each stone herself — small batches, slow work, real character in every one.
Daisies, ferns, bumblebees, ladybugs — the designs come from what's actually growing and buzzing around Beamsville.
A pop of colour by the front step, a friendly face tucked among the hostas. Garden art that's meant to be found.
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.
No carts, no checkout — just a note and a friendly reply. It's a small studio, not a warehouse.
Have a look through the shop. Everything is one-of-a-kind, so when a piece finds a home it's gone.
Tap "I'm interested" and tell Susan which one caught your eye. She'll reply about price and payment.
Collect it in Beamsville, or arrange delivery around the Niagara Region. Further afield? Just ask.
New stones turn up whenever the garden gives Susan an idea. Have a browse, or send a note about something custom.
