Susan Winget is an American watercolor artist and one of the top five licensed artists in the United States. She began her career in 1982 painting small watercolors from her home garage in North Carolina, and in 1987 partnered with Lang Graphics to develop her first calendar, Heart and Home. She earned a Fine Arts degree from UNC Chapel Hill and currently works from The Farmhouse Studio in Lake Wylie, South Carolina, where she lives on a farm with her husband, family, and horses. Her work appears on Lang calendars, dinnerware, stationery, puzzles, home decor, and more.

What is Susan Winget's artistic style?

Susan works primarily in watercolor, using pencils and crayons to layer rich colors and textures. Her themes center on country life, farmhouse living, classic color schemes, animals, and peaceful natural settings. She portrays a world of porch swings, barns, gardens, farm animals, and seasonal celebrations with a warmth that feels both nostalgic and genuine. Her style balances detailed illustration with clear, readable composition, which is why her work translates so well from calendar pages to framed art.

Which Susan Winget collection should I start with?

Most people start with Heart and Home, her flagship collection since 1987, because it showcases everything that makes her work appealing: warm farmhouse imagery, rich color, and that feeling of home. If you love garden whimsy, start with Gnome Sweet Gnome. For harvest and seasonal themes, Bountiful Blessings. For authentic farm life, Rosewood Ranch. The choice is really about which themes match your space and personal style.

Does Susan Winget create new artwork every year?

Yes. Susan releases entirely new artwork annually for each of her major collections. This is one of the reasons her collectors return year after year: you're not getting repeats but fresh seasonal interpretations of beloved themes. She has maintained this output since 1982 while keeping the consistent quality and recognizable style her fans depend on.

The collection launches across multiple formats including a wall calendar, planners, and a Special Edition with a framable 9x12 print.
