About


Susan Gosevitz is an award winning artist and an elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists (OSA), the Society of Canadian Artists (SCA) and a signature member of Artists For Conservation (AFC). A painter of nature, Susan creates scenes of natural moments to wake up, to calm, and to bring a sense of peace. “I see art as a collaboration with nature. Together we create the real and sublime in one, providing a return from hectic and stress, from consumption and chaos, to meditative simplicity”. Susan has created artwork for four children’s books in support of conservation awareness; Chucky the Lonely Inukshuk 2009, Larry the Loon 2011, Under Your Nose 2015 and On the Reef 2016 by Judith and Shandley McMurray. She is the recipient of the 2012 Robert Bateman Award for outstanding contribution to conservation awareness through artistic expression. Proceeds from these children’s book have supported The Bateman Foundation and The Canadian Wildlife Foundation. Susan graduated from The Toronto School of Art in 2009, recipient of The Edie Yolles Award; the top award for excellence in painting  to a graduating student. Susan has also studied at the Haliburton School of Art and Design. She gained peer recognition in 2010 when she was elected to The Society of Canadian Artists. In 2011 she was awarded “the top ten artists” at The McMichael Gallery Fall Show in Kleinberg. Susan has contributed to the arts community and uses her artistic talents to help many charities. As a founding member of the Herbie Fund, Susan has coordinated the Herbie Artists in support of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. She has created artwork for tribute cards for the Baycrest Hospital in Toronto, the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada and the TPH Charitable Campaign.

Susan creates original paintings in oils and acrylics.

Commissions Policy: Commissions are accepted with the subject matter nature related. I paint land, water and wildlife. Commissions create an original and personalized artwork that is developed between the artist and the client. The process begins with an initial consultation discussing the subject matter, dimensions and colour palette. Price depends on the size and the complexity of the painting. A deposit is required to start the creative process with the balance due on delivery. My images are typically serene and calm. I like simple backgrounds that isolate the subject matter removing unnecessary information. A limited palette works best for overall harmony and impact.
