About Susan

"A fox with a question, a moon full of cheer,
Hand-drawn friends all gather near.
In Susan’s tales, hearts find their tune, and
you belong, like stars and the moon."
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.
Strauberry Studios & Gallery is more than just a workspace. It’s a place where hearts expand and every adventure brings new opportunities to learn.
