I’m Susan Straub-Martin, artist, illustrator, daydreamer-in-chief, and purveyor of hugs, and wholehearted believer in the wonder of childhood.

 

At Strauberry Studios & Gallery, I create whimsical picture books and one-of-a-kind art to make children feel seen, safe, and celebrated, and to bring a little more warmth, imagination, and joy into family life.

​

Inspired by the neighborly spirit of small towns, my work is made for parents, grandparents, readers, educators, and dreamers who treasure meaningful stories, heartfelt creativity, and the pleasure of discovering something truly special. Here, imagination feels personal, community matters, and every new character invites you into a world worth sharing with the children you love.
