About Us
A Canvas of Imagination
At Strauberry Studios & Gallery, we see joy as a superpower, storytelling as an expression of love, and believe every child deserves to feel recognized, safe, and celebrated.
I’m Susan Straub-Martin artist, illustrator, daydreamer-in-chief and purveyor of hugs.
For more than 40 years, I’ve transformed sketches into magical worlds, layers into laughter, and characters into cherished friends. Whether through published picture books or intricate digital collages, my creations are designed to inspire imagination and foster meaningful connections.
​
Ralph Martin - Angel Investor & Chief Feedback Officer Was there at the beginning of it all. He has always been my biggest cheerleader and will always be.
Snickerdoodle - Head of Treats & Security. Keeps us laughing and is an all round great studio assistant.
Strauberry Studios & Gallery is more than just a workspace. It’s a place where hearts expand and every adventure brings new opportunities
to learn and grow.
"A fox with a question, a moon full of cheer,
Hand-drawn Buddies & Friends all gather near.
In Susan’s tales, hearts find their tune, and
you belong, like stars and the moon."
