I am now intermittently offering a select supply of original works. This is inventory dependent. When I have a lot of shows, no originals will be available on Etsy. These are one of a kind ORIGINAL designs, created by using inks, watercolor, and acrylic. Each piece is 3 dimensional by the addition of small flat objects such as glass, shells, stones, bark, and beads which are adhered to the artwork. Every original has a quote, lyric, or bit of wisdom written or painted onto it.....inspiring, thought provoking, sentimental, any occasion words are connected to each piece of art. The best part is, any original can be customized at no extra charge with your own words or quote. I can write anything, including a personal message to the recipient. Just ask!
AND!
If you LOVE TREES and you're looking for an ORIGINAL CARD to send that is not a virtual image, you're in the right place! Every design of Heartwood Artist is tree related...and includes cards with whimsy, humor, realism, and nostalgia. Every card has a quotation, lyric, or bit of wisdom printed on the back side of the card, leaving the inside of the card blank for your own message. Many designs are all occasion, but become personal when you add your own words. There are no cards with corny poetry or long printed blah blahs blahs on the inside here!
Previously, my entire card selection has not been offered anywhere but directly from me at festivals and shows. Cards are a simple and inexpensive way to communicate and to share your favorite art. All cards are printed on card stock and are easily frame-able. Now you can find my original design images all online, and order singles or multiples with just a few clicks!

Treenie Weenie miniature originals
TREE ART by SUSAN ELLIOT- "I Speak For The Trees, For The Trees Have No Tongues" (Dr Seuss)
I read an article in 2008 that said "your true soul as an artist only emerges when you draw what you love, and not what you think people will buy". The article changed my life, and I started drawing trees. I kept a full time job on the side until 2012, when my art business had overtaken all of my free time, and it became my full time profession. What a pleasure to draw in daylight, and not load the car for a show in the pitch black of a Friday night!
I draw trees with whimsy, realism, humor, and environmental messages. My self taught techniques are not traditional, and they have led me to my own style. My background in environmental science, my obsession with detail, and my absolute love of linking quotes, lyrics, and bits of wisdom to each piece have led me to a creative path that is constantly branching and evolving. My subject matter is infinite!
Constant requests for smaller original works that could travel, ship, or fit in downsized living spaces led me to begin TREENIE WEENIES, which are 5x7 framed miniatures. I use museum mats which leaves room for me to adhere found objects such as stones, beads, glass, shells, and bark directly onto the Art. I sold almost 500 Treenies the first year, and the marriage of words and art became my "hook". If the art doesn't pull you in, reading the words written on the mats makes people look again.
I opened an Etsy shop in 2011, but I had no time to develop it, and really I re opened it seriously in the end of January, 2014. Etsy is easy, well known, and loaded with talented people for networking, sharing, and inspiring ideas. Please don't hesitate to favorite, promote, or share an artists Etsy shop. One click can add dozens of new customers, and I thank you for doing it!
