Small characters,
big feelings.

Susan Box is an illustrator and maker - invariably found with a pencil in hand and head in the clouds. Whimsical art for walls, gifts, books and brands.

Hello!

I'm Susan - illustrator,
maker, daydreamer.

I draw the little things that make people smile: dinosaurs in winter scarves, bears with good advice, cats with big plans. Every piece starts as a pencil sketch and ends up something you can hold, hang or gift.

My work has found its way into storybooks, prints, cards and homes - and I'd love it to find its way into yours.
