Due to our recent move, we were looking for a beautiful eye-catcher for a bare wall in our new home. Tipped off by a friend, we stepped into Susan Ruiter’s gallery in Vlaardingen this spring. There, we were surprised by Susan’s sparkling and colorful paintings, and we immediately fell in love with two of them. Susan then helped us make a choice by projecting the paintings onto a photo of the wall in our living room.

After extensive consideration and consultation with Susan, we ultimately chose the fine art painting ‘Songs of the Sky’. It has now found a beautiful spot in our sunny living room.

It makes us happy every day when we walk in and see it hanging there.

We had visited Susan Ruiter's studio once before. We had seen a painting of a landscape, and it stuck in the back of our minds.

However, that painting did not have the right dimensions.

Eventually, Susan came to our home to take a look and take measurements. We commissioned her to paint a landscape, based on the painting we had seen earlier, to fit our living room. With water, reeds, birds, open sky, and a morning sun. She made a sketch for us. We added our wish for a heron to it. After that, she started on the large canvas. We went to see how the work was coming together several times.

We thought it was fantastic to be able to follow the creative process from start to finish and to be a part of it ourselves. Now the painting hangs! Exactly what we had envisioned. We are so incredibly happy with it. It gives our living room extra space and color. The details are beautiful. The birds are lifelike. At our request, she added a bumblebee. You have to look closely to spot it! Every time we walk past or look at it, it gives us good energy! We are going to enjoy this for a very long time!

The morning after it was hung, we said to each other at least 15 times: "Beautiful, isn't it?! Yes, very beautiful! Nice and fresh and light." We enjoy it every day and receive many lovely comments. The space feels very different, even special.

Thanks for your patience and advice, Susan!

We have heard the reactions of Susan and the children of eleven Beagles.

You will find that you do not have to worry about it or not. The screenplay is a practical one, but it is always possible to see the words in the screen in the jaren language when it comes to language, also it is altijd al heeft gehangen.

Alongside our other works by Susan Ruiter, this painting really stands out. We were looking for something for our coffee corner, and she designed this trompe-l'œil especially for us. A unique piece in matching colors and with its own distinctive look. We are very happy with it!

We are very happy with the original painting 'Songs of the Sky'! It feels very special to have something as personal as this painting, which we chose together and find beautiful, hanging in our home.

After picking it up, we got home and hung it up right away. Another enrichment to our living room.

Greetings from Harry and Ineke.

We saw Susan Ruiter's beautiful works passing by on Insta and thought, we want to see more of that. We visited the studio, where we were kindly received by Susan and viewed her inspiring works. She depicts nature so beautifully.
By now, a painting by Susan hangs on the wall that we enjoy every day and are incredibly happy with. It is so nice that Susan comes to deliver it herself; that makes it even more personal.

We stumbled upon Susan Ruiter's work through Instagram, and it immediately appealed to us. It's her natural and realistic painting style that truly sets her apart. During a visit to Susan's studio, we fell in love with the painting "Coal Tits Playing," which now graces our wall. We highly recommend Susan to anyone looking to acquire something truly special.

We were so curious, but today, after a long journey through the snow, the goldfinches, "Harmony," arrived at our warm nest in Friesland.

It's already beautiful on the website, but the experience in person is so wonderful you can't stop looking at it. Even my husband, Anne (who has nothing to do with art until he saw Harmony) is impressed by this beautiful painting with its fantastic colors and texture.

Even the wall spot I had in mind isn't certain. He says this painting needs to be shown to its best advantage, especially in the evening.

Such a precious memory, and what beautiful words on the website, I can't describe it any better.

Thank you, dear Susan ❤️ 

A truly charming addition to our holiday home, where we can now enjoy nature indoors as well as outdoors. The interior now feels truly finished and unique!

From our very first visit, you gave us a warm welcome and we immediately clicked. Our daughter was looking for a lasting memory of her faithful dog, and you perfectly translated her wishes into a concept. When we visited you again to admire the first results, we were once again captivated by your beautiful work and ultimately decided to give "Sunrise" a place in our living room.

We enjoy it every day!

A warm painting where nature takes center stage, where you see something different every time, and where my four-legged friend also plays a role. This was my dream come true when I contacted Susan.

She created two striking sketches, both completely different. So I really had a choice. But did I really want to…?

She colored, printed, and framed one of the sketches. She developed the other into a beautiful, large painting, completely tailored to my wishes. Everything is perfect: the colors, the warmth, the radiance, my four-legged friend, the birds, and the butterflies. I enjoy it every day!

Thank you, Susan, for creating this fantastic painting for me. It was a joy to experience the entire process, step by step, from sketch to finished product.

"The Promise Tree" brings magic, color, and light to our home. From anywhere in the room, it draws our gaze. The painting is alive, stimulating, and uplifting. Susan listened and translated our wishes into a world full of symbolism, fresh colors, and imagination.

The canvas tells our story: a tree with roots in water, full of promise, surrounded by colorful fish and a setting sun that radiates warmth and infinity. It is a painting that reveals something new every day.

The entire process was special, personal, and filled with care and love. Susan collaborated with us, kept us engaged, and transformed our ideas into something we couldn't have imagined ourselves. "The Promise Tree" feels like a beacon of hope in our home: dreamy, powerful, and full of life. Masterfully done!

Susan listens carefully to your wishes. It's wonderful that she was able to capture such a precious moment for us so beautifully. We sent photos of our house beforehand so the painting would perfectly match the interior colors. It turned out so beautifully! We received several updates throughout the process. These updates gave us the opportunity to make changes, and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!!!

Thank you so much Susan for your thoughtful advice and the beautiful end result!

To give my husband something original for his 70th birthday, I contacted Susan Ruiter. We chatted about my ideas and made a sketch. A few weeks later, I was able to come and see the finished piece.

It's such a lovely painting! So cheerful and colorful, with a touch of humor! My husband was also thrilled with it, and we're enjoying it together. We also love the way the sides are integrated into the painting. The painting hangs on a white wall, making the colors pop. This painting truly brings joy.

The painting Where Colors Meet can now hang in our living room. Susan's work is beautiful; we already agreed on that. Susan helped us decide which one to choose. She displayed the various options digitally in our living room, which made it easier to decide.

She also offers various options for having one of her works in your home, allowing you to take your time and choose what suits you. We found the contact very pleasant.

After our renovation, something was still missing. We were looking for a unique piece of art for our empty wall—not a reproduction, but something exclusive. Then we were recommended Susan's.

The fourth painting we saw, "Grateful for Nature," immediately captivated us.

Now, several months later, we still enjoy it.
It feels good, adds style and character to our interior, and gives the room a warm, exclusive feel.

Susan's art was exactly what we wanted to fill our empty space and it has brought such a warm feeling. Not only is the artwork beautiful but Susan also was professional in all communications, dealing with each of our unique queries respectfully and smoothly.

The outdoor unit space has truly been transformed to a cosy room by the addition of her artwork.

We're thrilled with our painting! Susan's preliminary visualizations and advice were very helpful and helped us make the right choices. Because we live nearby, we were able to peek around the corner in her studio every now and then. It was wonderful to follow the process. The painting perfectly complements our interior and gives the room a much more atmospheric feel. A valuable addition!

We're thrilled with our Fine Art Print, which has now taken pride of place on our wall. Along with the small painting by Nathalie Verkade, it adds a wonderful atmosphere to our space. The room is now complete. A truly beautiful addition to our interior!

We've been familiar with Susan's studio for a while. We often walk past, or of course, pop in, either to simply browse all the beautiful pieces or to buy a small gift for a special occasion.

Now we had the wonderful opportunity to treat ourselves to a beautiful fine art print, "Where Colors Meet," featuring my dream of a kingfisher.

Last week, it was delivered and hung by Susan. Simply put, it's beautiful.
We're so happy with it; I always see something new every time I look at it.
I would recommend everyone to visit Susan's studio and be tempted to buy something.

When you enter Susan's studio in Vlaardingen, you're immediately struck by the beautiful layout and lighting, which makes the beautiful artworks on display stand out even more. We were so impressed with the style of her work that we placed a commission and discussed with Susan the possibilities for incorporating our wishes.

It was also very special that we were given the opportunity to observe the process and make any necessary changes, which, incidentally, weren't necessary.
The final result is even more beautiful than we envisioned; it's wonderful to have something like this hanging on our wall!

It hangs in our hallway, and every time we leave or come home, we're reminded of what a stunning piece of art it is!

What began as a curious visit to Susan's studio has resulted in a beautiful painting hanging on our wall.

Thanks in part to Susan's enthusiasm and kindness, we decided to purchase the painting, and through consultation, several personal wishes were incorporated.
A truly valuable, personal work of art.

We had actually known for a long time that we wanted a painting by Susan Ruiter. We had seen several examples, but wanted a combination of those examples, with our own input. The butterfly and the robin were definitely given a place, they could not be missing. The kingfisher came from Susan herself and brought a fresh color to the whole.

The depth of the stream that flows away was important to us. So we already had a pretty clear idea of ​​what we wanted, but we were still persuaded to choose this larger size, because the table in front of it really offered that space.

Our living room now feels more spacious and the colors of the painting fit in nicely with our interior.

Yet we were still surprised by how well Susan sensed where we wanted to go with this painting. It feels like a perfect mix of what Marjolein and I found important, with Susan's insight and experience on top of it. She could not have done it better, so we are extremely happy with it!

She is very happy! The painting is also how I had envisioned it: a special day, a special moment, our strong bond and with a cheerful wink.

We are not allowed to hang it in the hallway :) we tried out a few places in the house yesterday afternoon and it will be hung in the living room. I had not thought of that myself, but it looks very nice and cheerful there and visible from all angles.

Thanks for everything, the surprise was a complete success!

When your painting 'Enchanting Landscape' was hung in our home, it touched us. You can still feel the warmth and passion with which it was made. Completely in my colours.

Fits perfectly in our home. Thank you Susan.

Suddenly her studio passed by on Instagram and my eye immediately fell on 'Mystic Morning'. Exactly in the colours of our new interior. Then you can search further, but you can't find it anymore. This is it, whe want this. The price was not even known yet. We had a quick discussion about the euros but never thought about backing out. For the first time in our lives a "real" painting. Wow! After 43 years finally something beautiful on the wall.

Very friendly and hospitable welcome, coffee, chat. It felt incredibly good and familiar. And there it was hanging. 100% sure. We want this! This painting completes it. It will become one with our interior. The trust was mutual. Susan delivered and hung it herself and after handing over a certificate, a present and the invoice we said goodbye to each other. Thank you Susan for your beautiful work. Good luck in the future. You get a big 10 from us, for everything.

I must honestly say that I had no doubts about Susan's work beforehand. Her reputation and portfolio spoke for themselves, but my expectations were still exceeded. From the very first contact I felt completely understood and at ease. Not only is Susan an incredibly talented artist, but she also has an exceptional eye for detail and a keen understanding of what her clients want.

The purchasing process went smoothly. After a pleasant conversation and a visit to my home, Susan knew exactly what my space needed to create that desired hotel chic atmosphere. The end result is truly amazing. The painting is a perfect balance between elegance and sensuality (sexy). What makes it extra special is that Susan incorporated my own heels into the painting. It therefore feels personal and unique, as if the work of art was really made for me. It adds a touch of glamor without feeling overdone. Exactly what I was looking for!

I would without hesitation recommend Susan's work to anyone looking for something special for their home. The other thing I want to say is that the whole process with Susan was just fun and inspiring. She takes the time to get to know you and translates that into a work of art that far exceeds your expectations.

I have been a fan of Susan's work for about 20 years and when I wanted to decorate the walls in the living room differently, she sent me an impression that I immediately fell in love with!

The fine art print in the desired size is a great eye-catcher and matches beautifully with all the colors in the room!

What a pleasant gallery and beautiful work Susan has on display.

In addition to her own work (beautiful paintings), Susan also regularly invites fellow artists to show their work. For example, there is now beautiful work by Marjolein Diks available.

Purchasing one of Susan's paintings has been my longterm wish. I have adored her artwork since I have seen it for the very first time. I am very happy with the process, Susan is super friendly and very profesional.

The "Summer Romance" came well packed and is as breathtaking as expected. I cannot take my eyes off it!

We moved a year ago and didn't want to have old decorations on the living room walls anymore. We were looking for something nice for our empty wall and I already knew Susan's paintings and then her nature paintings came along on Facebook. Together with my partner Ton we went to her gallery/studio in Vlaardingen and there we saw many beautiful paintings. We both thought "Sound of Autumn" was very beautiful and the colors fit well with our interior.

The painting has been hanging for a week now and we enjoy it very much and are happy that we made this choice. Susan thought along with us and the service of bringing the painting home and her partner helping with hanging it is great!

We don't just have anything on the wall, but a beautiful work by Susan. We are happy with it every day!

Nog steeds heel blij met het mooie werk van Susan wat al vele jaren ons kantoor op vrolijkt! Het zorgt voor een unieke uitstraling en sfeer. Ook blij met de jarenlange fijne samenwerking!

We were looking for a painting for our new home. We came across Susan's paintings on Instagram. Clicked through to her website. What beautiful works! That seemed like something for the empty white wall in our living room. We didn't dare to buy a painting digitally, so we made an appointment with Susan in Vlaardingen. In the meantime, Susan had already made some impressions for us based on our own interior photos.

We were welcomed very warmly and cordially in her gallery.
We couldn't take our eyes off all those beautiful works of art. Even more beautiful than digitally. The beautiful layering and various materials now really came into their own and blended beautifully into the paintings.

One painting immediately stood out for us. That was Joy. A very colorful painting with many beautiful details. It is truly a joy to look at this beautiful painting. In her studio we also saw a beautiful wooden panel, Whispers in the wind. That was not quite finished yet. We decided to buy both. They now hang beautifully in our living room, both with their own atmosphere. Real eye-catchers! We get a lot of compliments about them.”

Thank you again Susan.
For us, you are a top artist!

At first I was skeptical. I think art is beautiful. But was it necessary to buy a real painting? A nice poster would be good too, right? My wife showed me some works and I was interested. But could we afford this? Eventually we decided to go and have a look in the studio. By seeing the real works I was immediately convinced. Photos do not show how beautiful the paintings are. The depth in them and the colors in a different light. Simply beautiful. There I also spoke to Susan. A wonderfully warm person who showed us her works. She explained the process of how the drawing is created. And that we could spread the payment over two years. She indicated that we could incorporate personal things into it. That was the real deciding factor for me.

Susan came to see us to look at the colors and sizes of the painting. She really took the time to discuss everything properly. We also discussed our personal taste well. When the painting was almost finished we could go and look at the end result. We could still make minor adjustments if we wanted. A week later the painting could be hung. Susan personally brought it with her husband and helped us with the hanging. And the painting has become beautiful. It hangs in a prominent place in our room. Throughout the day, through the play of light, you see the painting in a different way every time. Enjoy it every day.

We are so happy with our painting. Susan made it based on our wishes, whereby she saw very well which composition and use of color fits our interior best. The painting has become the showpiece of our living room!

We are still very happy with your painting Susan! It remains a surprise every day what we discover again. The influence of the light on the painting also continues to surprise us and we are very impressed by your techniques.. Our interior is finally finished!

Just before Christmas we enjoy a beautiful work of art on the wall by Susan. I have been following the artist on FB for some time. We went to take a look in her studio. And we quickly fell in love with the painting Bright Sunny days.

We had been looking for a painting for a long time. And suddenly Susan's nature paintings came by on Instagram. We went to the studio and were immediately enthusiastic. There, in consultation with Susan, we let her know our wishes, which she could work on. Susan also came by with paintings for the right size and colors that would suit us. It was also nice that Susan thought along with our wishes. We are very happy with Polder Paradise!!!

A while ago we visited Susan Ruiter's studio in Vlaardingen. We were super enthusiastic about the beautiful paintings that can be admired there. The fact that you can also see Susan at work live is worth a trip to Vlaardigen!

When we heard that Susan also works on commission and that you can (in consultation) indicate what is depicted on the canvas, in her well-known style, we were sold. She advises on the size, gives instructions and first makes a sketch. We had a horizontal format in mind, but on her advice it became square. She was absolutely right about that, given the place where it would be hung.

We took a photo of our wall and Susan sent back an image with the virtual sketch and afterwards the painting depicted in the right place in the right proportion. Even after it was almost finished, we were still able to make some wishes known before the varnish layer was applied.

Susan and her husband Ruud personally brought it and hung it. Now that it is hanging in its place, we receive many comments from family and acquaintances who also think it is beautiful. There is so much to see on the painting, every time you discover something new. In short, we are super happy with it and enjoy it every day!!

After having given inherited paintings a place in our room for some time, we thought it was time to hang something that better matched our own taste. Inge had already noticed Susan's paintings via Instagram.

So off to Vlaardingen, where we were warmly welcomed in her studio. It was also very nice to see Susan at work there live. We quickly made an appointment and Susan and Ruud came by with a number of paintings. It was difficult to choose, but in the end we chose 'Colorful Day', a painting that we look at with great pleasure every day.

For a while we were looking for a nice painting for an empty spot on our wall, but nothing had the "wow" factor, until I came across Susan on the internet.

After we were still enthusiastic about it after a few months, we decided to visit her studio to see if the click was there in real life. Well, there certainly was! There were immediately 2 paintings that caught our attention, with 1 clear preference, in real life it was even more beautiful than on your screen.

On Susan's advice, we first had a virtual picture made of our wall with our preferred paintings and 2 more options from Susan herself. Then she came to our home to see it in real life in our living room. Where we initially had doubts about the right choice, this immediately disappeared in our living room when we saw the kingfishers with the golden details there, this was what we were looking for!

She even helped us determine the right height and hang the painting. Susan thought along with us and was very helpful, very nice that this was all possible, nothing was too much. With this artwork by Susan you really add an extra piece of nature to your home and I get happy every time I look at it.

I have to be honest, I had no doubts about Susan's work beforehand. Her reputation and portfolio spoke for themselves, but my expectations were still exceeded. From the very first contact I felt completely understood and at ease. Susan is not only an incredibly talented artist, but she also has an exceptional eye for detail and a keen insight into what her clients want.

The purchasing process went smoothly. After a pleasant conversation and a visit to my home, Susan knew exactly what my space needed to create that desired hotel chic atmosphere. The end result is truly amazing. The painting is a perfect balance between elegance and sensuality (sexy). What makes it extra special is that Susan incorporated my own heels into the painting. This makes it feel personal and unique, as if the artwork was really made for me. It adds a touch of glamour without feeling over the top. Exactly what I was looking for!

I would recommend Susan's work without hesitation to anyone looking for something special for their home. What I also want to say is that the whole process with Susan was just fun and inspiring. She takes the time to get to know you and translates that into a work of art that far exceeds your expectations.

We had seen a work of art by Susan on Facebook and decided to go to her studio to have a look. After sending photos of our interior, Susan had already projected paintings onto our walls via a program. Nothing was too much for her and her husband and the contact was always pleasant.After another visit to the studio we decided that we would like to view some paintings in our house.

They came with a number of paintings and we chose the painting Melody for our living room and the painting Cup of Tea for our kitchen. We enjoy it every day!

The funny thing is that I had a preference for a different painting in advance, but it didn't do justice to it at all in our living room. If we are near Vlaardingen we will definitely come back for a cup of coffee and admire your beautiful work. All the best. Greetings Mart and Karin and a big hug from dog Saar.

Yesterday our Fine Art Print 'Poetry of Earth' was hung in our room by Susan. A while ago I started looking on the internet for a painting that would fit above our sofa. Once I discovered Susan I couldn't let go. Made an appointment outside opening hours, but.... Susan was suddenly admitted to hospital. No problem because partner Ruud would do the honors. He did an excellent job. We felt very welcome and were helped very attentively in making a choice. Very nice that it is also possible to choose a Fine Art Print. The result is stunning: Susan has added relief through post-processing, which makes the painting even more alive. It is special to receive the creator of our painting at home and think together about the placement of the painting. And then enjoy the result with the four of you! Already reported the painting to family and friends via Instagram. Reactions are very positive. Susan it was very nice to meet you and would like to thank you for the beautiful painting.

I recently bought a painting from Susan. I really liked that they came by in advance with the painting and I could see without obligation whether it fits here. It looks very nice, has a spatial effect and it gives my living room an extra dimension.

Every time I look at it it makes me happy. Last weekend I had visitors and I immediately received compliments about the painting. It also made them happy.

As a professional who regularly gives online coaching calls and facilitates sessions with CEOs, directors and international clients, I wanted my office to exude an atmosphere of professionalism and creativity. The dull, empty wall behind me did not match the look and feel I had in mind.

When I hired Susan Ruiter, she brought a few of her paintings to my office in Almere. After looking at her work, I decided on the cheerful, multi-coloured painting 'Spring'. The painting immediately felt right, not only because it brightened up my office, but also because the colours matched the colours of my logo perfectly. Susan gave me advice on the painting and how it would contribute to the atmosphere of my space.

The painting 'Spring' is now the eye-catcher in my office and I am so happy with it! Clients always respond positively when they come in for a session – it really is an eye-catcher! My office now exudes the atmosphere I was looking for, and I feel proud every time I see the painting.

It's really crazy! I'm soooo happy with it! I always get goosebumps when I walk into my office!

I have been a fan of Susan's work for about 20 years and when I wanted to decorate the walls in the living room differently, she sent me an impression that I immediately fell in love with! The fine art print in the desired size is a great eye-catcher and matches beautifully with all the colors in the room!

So happy with my painting!

After changing my interior, I still missed some warmth in my house. For a long time I looked for a suitable work of art for above my sofa to fill the void there a bit. Ultimately, I kept coming back to Susan's website. I was already a fan of Susan's paintings and fell in love with one of her 'nature' paintings that I saw on her website.

After I contacted her we made an appointment. After a warm welcome with coffee and iron biscuits, I selected a few paintings. She came to my house together with Ruud and the paintings. They took their time and advised me about my personal taste, the dimensions and the colors that would be used in the painting.

The contact with Susan was very pleasant. It was also very nice to be able to walk into the studio in between, see the progress and receive photos of it in the meantime.

I think a nice detail in the painting is that my cat Suus is also included in it. That makes it even more personal for me.

When the painting was finally completely finished, I was very excited when they came to hang it in my house. I'm quite a doubter and often have to get used to new things. But in the end I am very happy with my own new painting. It completes my interior completely.

Voor een reeks workshops hebben we de ruimte van Susan gehuurd. Wat een heerlijke ruimte! Elke keer als we binnenstappen voelen we de rust en wordt onze inspiratie geprikkeld door alle werken aan de muur. Aanrader!

Very happy with the beautiful work of art (Art Print) that you made for me. It has been given a beautiful spot so that I can enjoy it every day. Love Lenny Bakker

I was looking for something beautiful and special for above my sofa and because I already have a number of small paintings by Susan, I also wanted a painting of her new style. She came by to see which size would be suitable. When I saw the painting 'Poetry of Nature' I immediately fell in love, it really looked great! After a few days of trial, which was actually not necessary because I had already made my choice, it was hung in the right place and I can fully enjoy it every day. Susan thank you very much for the service and for the beautiful painting.

'My lovely Mylo'; Susan has made a beautiful, colorful painting with our sweet Kooikerhondje Mylo. It turned out exactly as I had in mind after we came up with a plan together. It was very nice to be able to take a look in her studio to see how such a painting slowly takes shape. Thank you Susan for your hospitality, your service (and Ruud!) and your beautiful work. I'm going to enjoy it every day!

'Susan, I am currently enjoying your painting. The light makes the gold paint stand out beautifully. I also studied the butterflies and determined which butterfly represents who. And the robins really look at me, so beautiful! I'm now waiting for my robin in the garden, he usually comes to take a bath in the birdbath in the afternoon.'

Its energy so pure and soothing. It is also so beautiful in the evening with the spotlight on it!

Art is part of our lives. We already have a nice collection. One day Susan comes by on Facebook. We were immediately charmed by her work. This resulted in a statue of “Wonder Woman”, dedicated to my wife. Because I am an angler, a “Catch Me” fish in a cigar box was a must.

Suddenly we saw her nature collection with beautiful color combinations captured in her own beautiful technique with different layers.
Once you reach the blessed age of 70, choosing a gift becomes increasingly difficult. What if we order a painting from Susan, my gift to my wife and her gift to me. Had a quick chat with Susan, passed on the size and it had to be with kingfishers, sent a photo of a kingfisher with a fish in its mouth, a photo of our interior for the color choice, agreed on a price and then we had to wait. Over time we saw the painting and it was love at first sight. Simply beautiful. It enriches our interior. A beautiful piece of nature on the wall with the most beautiful bird I know.

We are very happy with Susan's work and can recommend it to everyone.
Her way of contact with the customer, her thinking along and delivery of the end result are also perfect. And there is an actual connection, even if it is via the electronic highway.

We are fans of Susan!!!

What a wonderful experience to have a painting commissioned by Susan Ruiter. Discuss the possibilities with her. We wanted specific birds, no problem for Susan and she painted a pair of kingfishers. After a rough sketch, she started working on the real painting and we were able to follow this. By visiting the studio and also because Susan sent us emails with the current status of the painting. This way wecould  follow the development of your painting completely and that is really cool!! We are extremely happy with the end result and enjoy the beautiful painting on the wall. Thank you Susan (and of course Ruud for professionally hanging the painting) for your beautiful creation!!

Here you can read a few reviews from customers who bought my Art Prints through Art Prints gekocht hebben via Art Heroes.

I was looking for a painting for above my workplace and chose Susan's art print 'dancing sparrows'. It's there and looks like a real painting, especially because the canvas is matte. The quality and print are nice and the colors come out nicely. The cloth fits tightly around the frame and the image continues nicely at the edges. I am very happy with it!

This has been on my wish list for a long time, but there were always things that came first. But after three nasty years it was time to do it now. A beautiful painting on the wall of the people we love most. There were 110 photos on this wall and everything is now included in this. Cheerful colors and humor well represented. Susan listens, understands and gives this back very well. Bring it personally and take your time. All in all we are very satisfied with the children, grandchildren and of course Teuntje in this beautiful painting. Thank you Susan!!

After an appointment in the gallery, where we had a very pleasant conversation, a follow-up appointment came at our home. Susan had brought a number of works and we could see in peace in our own apartment how the paintings would come across. The painting "Girl Talk" which we preferred, they left with us so that we could think at ease about the purchase. The painting has not left, and we enjoy this beautiful painting every day. Thank you Susan and Ruud!! If you have become curious, visit the gallery to experience for yourself what beautiful art is for sale !!!

What a surprise at our 10th wedding anniversary. A beautiful cheerful painting of our French Bulldogs. Extra special because they are characterized from a photo, but what are they really ❤️. My compliments Susan, I'm a fan, we're going to give it a nice spot.

I got to know Susan's paintings by the internet and was a fan of the curvy ladies. I had seen “the kimono ladies” and loved it! I made an appointment to visit the gallery. It was a very warm and relaxed welcome, an explanation about her art and technique. Ruud and Susan came to Bruges to present the painting in my living room. The kimono ladies immediately hit it off and hung the painting. I can recommend anyone who wants an eye catcher in their home to definitely visit and enjoy the beautiful works of art. I enjoy seeing the ladies every day!

For a long time we were looking for something nice above our couch. After we had seen a nice painting of Susan at one of our neighbors, the step was soon taken to take a look at Susan's studio. After a nice chat, some explanation from Susan and looking at some things, slowly the idea was born to have something painted on commission. But what.....

Over time, the idea arose to have our story painted. 58 years ago during the infusion in Arcade at the Lange Haven in Schiedam, we got to know each other there, while dancing. Theo then had a black American car "Pontiac 1959" which was quite special for that time. We have already been married 52 years ago at the town hall in Vlaardingen.

Susan has named our story “Wonderful Memories” and painted it very aptly.
It is definitely recommended to visit Susan for inspiration or for good advice!

I had been an admirer of Susan for years. Her “Curvy Ladies” paintings appealed to me from the beginning. I had seen several other paintings with the same theme from other painters, but they didn't match Susan's works. It was therefore a well-considered choice for us to commission a painting in which our lives are intertwined. We visited Susan's studio, with our dachshunds Jip and Jan, and put our wishes to her. I had every confidence in it right away! A few days later we already received a few sketches from her, from which we chose one to work out. In the meantime, we were kept informed of the progress and were able to pass on adjustments. We gave Susan all the freedom to express her creativity, nothing was too crazy for us! Since yesterday (October '22) the painting has been hanging on our wall, in the place where a large mirror hung for 14 years, and it is as if the painting just belongs there! It's very present, but the room can definitely take it! I keep looking at it! It turned out so beautiful! The looks of our dachshunds are so well caught!! One serious and the other a bit of vice! Exactly as they are! The painting makes the whole room, which was already colorful anyway, very sparkling! And that was just the point!

We are so happy that I saw photos of Susan's work on Facebook. I was immediately sold. I thought those “curvy ladies” were absolutely crazy, but my husband didn't. But don't worry for long because at one point I saw the "sexy legs" pass by and luckily he liked them. I made an appointment with Susan and she came by with some of her works, including three small "sexy legs" paintings of which the paint was actually just dry. We really wanted them to hang in our toilet. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer because they weren't quite ready yet. But once finished it even exceeded our expectations. We had also placed an order for a larger painting. At some point I received an email from Susan with what the final result would be. And here too we were able to indicate again what we would like to see differently and we have made an appointment to see the painting in real life in her studio. And then a painting comes across very differently than a photo in the mail. And how nice that we did that because this was just what we had in mind and Susan was able to give the painting the final coat. And now the painting just hangs above our TV! And we can enjoy it every day. We are very happy with how Susan has translated our wishes into a beautiful painting. So if you are looking for a beautiful, personal, sexy, funny or moving painting, we can certainly recommend Susan Ruiter. 

W're very happy with the painting you made for us. Initially this was a gift from my boyfriend for my 50th birthday. He wanted to have it made for me as a surprise. But when you started asking questions about the composition, location and colors, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
I enjoyed being on it together with Texel, our favorite Wadden island, as the background. Because we turned 100 on September 1, we gave the painting to each other. It is an eye-catcher in the hallway of our new house.

Dear Susan, We enjoy our painting "Sunny joyride" so much!!!! We got to know each other last year and asked you to make a personal painting. Important to us is our birthplace, our great love Charlie the labradoodle and our other love Bella, the fiat 500 convertible. After some adjustments based on the sketch, the painting was ready at the beginning of April. Thank you Susan!!!

It was a blast. We had a great time defining the painting with Susan, who provided us with various alternatives until we found the one we were looking for. The artwork is amazing, hanging proud @ home and enjoyed by all those who witness it.

I won a digital sketch and the result turned out incredibly cool. I'm super happy with it. Susan herself is also very enthusiastic, what a passion for art, I love her work!

We searched for a long time for a painting that appealed to both of us. We regularly walked past Susan's gallery and finally went inside. What a nice paintings. Beautiful and expressive colors and above all... cheerful paintings. In the end we fell for the painting "Join the Circus". And we are really happy with this!! Hangs really beautifully in our room. We can recommend everyone to take a look at Susan's gallery.

I'm a big fan and I really love the painting that I choose for my bedroom. It inspires me every day. Thank you so much!!!

We waren vanaf de eerste dag verliefd op “Cooking with love”. Het was dus “love at first sight”. Een paar keer zijn we langs jouw galerie gelopen en we waren ervan overtuigd dat we deze drie dames (las tres chicas) in onze eetkamer wilden hebben. We wilden wachten tot na de verbouwing, maar op een dag leken ze verdwenen te zijn uit jouw galerie! We waren best teleurgesteld want we dachten dat de drie meiden weg waren, maar gelukkig had jij hen nog! We wisten alleen niet zeker of het schilderij in de te verbouwen zou ruimte passen. Gelukkig bleek het heel mooi uit te komen toen jij met het schilderij bij ons langs kwam. Ook was het fijn dat je enkele andere schilderijen mee nam om ons te helpen met het maken van de juiste keuze. Daarnaast was het contact met jou altijd heel prettig en heel professioneel. Nu kijken de dames ze uit over onze eettafel, zo schitterend dat we elk moment genieten van hun gezelligheid. Bedankt voor jouw hulp en jouw vriendelijkheid en voor jouw mooie en unieke kunst.

Ik heb de kalender ontdekt via Bol... gelukkig .. Wat een prachtige kalender daar wordt je helemaal vrolijk van.

Maart 2021 heb ik Susan benaderd omdat ik mijn moeder een cadeau wilde doen voor haar nieuw appartement en mijn moeder vind Susan werk fantastisch. Wij wisten al snel wat het zou worden een familie portret zoals Susan het verwoord love never ends. Na wat mail contact kwam Susan en haar man bij ons thuis om alles te bespreken en gaven we akkoord voor de opdracht. Na maanden wachten werden wij uitgenodigd bij Susan's Atelier bij binnenkomst zagen we ons familieportret al hangen en werden er stil en emotioneel van. Susan heeft echt alles wat wij wilde erin verwerkt. 1 december was het zover eindelijk kwam het familie portret thuis en is het echt een pronkstuk geworden in huis. Bedankt Susan en Ruud niet te vergeten voor het ophangen ????

I am still so very happy with my beautiful painting by Susan Ruiter! When I look at it I keep seeing new details.

I received the large calendar yesterday, it is very nice and a lot of writing space I am very happy with it again thank you very much for the good service.

- I had doubts about the price and the location. I thought it was rather expensive, but the doubts were short-lived. The purchase of the painting went very well, it was even delivered to my home (200 km) and it was hung for me. Every time I look at the painting, it makes me happy and feel very good. I would recommend it to anyone. After the loss of my husband I wanted something new in the house and my eyes fell on my old paintings and said to myself, now it's time for a painting by Susan Ruiter, which I came across every day on FB. All my dead cats are on it , but the most beautiful thing about the painting are the little things that have been incorporated into it as a memory of my recently deceased husband!

"I really wanted a painting of Susan of me together with my 2 granddaughters. An emotionally charged painting because I don't see my oldest granddaughter very much because of circumstances. In this way ... This beautiful painting allows me to immortalize my granddaughters together on my lap. It is a very dear painting to me ❤❤ Thank you Susan!"

I have lived in my house for almost 2 years now. In the living room a wall that I didn't know how to 'decorate'. The plan came to purchase a 'Fat Ladies' painting. After a thorough orientation I came across Susan Ruiter. I liked her 'Fat Ladies' and also an artist from Vlaardingen! Walked past the studio several times during corona, looking in the shop window, my nose just didn't press flat, but it didn't come to making an appointment. I did sign up for her newsletter. In it the announcement for a walk-in Saturday at the beginning of August. That Saturday I took the plunge and walked inside. It was soon arranged: made an appointment for the 'test hanging' of a painting at my place! Based on my wishes and a photo of the wall, Susan drove up with several paintings. I could look at ease and make a choice. It became 'Petit Amie' and the ladies stayed 'testing'. We have discussed the various options with regard to financing, explained them well and later a confirmation by email. I soon decided that the ladies could stay. My environment thinks that the painting suits me and my house; my daughter calls it an eye-catcher. Petit Amie was the first painting Susan showed. She had a good idea of ​​what would be appropriate. Thank you Susan.

A good plan in every way with a beautiful result to have Booker and Ella, my son's dogs, painted by Susan.
It was also a warm experience to meet Susan.
In a very relaxed atmosphere, possibilities and changes with regard to the photo were discussed and realized satisfactorily.
It turned out to be a beautiful painting! Thank you!

I am the grandmother of the painting 'The best Grandma ever!'. I've always been a fan of Susan's paintings, so I was pleasantly surprised with the first sketch I received on my 65th birthday. During the painting process I was able to indicate which colors I liked, what items I wanted in it, etc. In any case, nothing was too much for Susan and we have come to this result. I am very happy with it and it has now been given a nice spot! Thanks again Susan!

I recently bought Susan's birthday calendar, because I've been saving 'fat ladies' for years myself and her work really appealed to me. I receive this with a personal message and I thought that was so special that I went to look further on her website. Because I will be 60 this year, I got the idea to have a painting made by Susan. Contacted and got the information I was looking for, because yes you would like to know what to expect and what it costs. Everything is clearly explained, such as format, on paper or linen and the costs and options of payment. Susan made a sketch at my request, after some adjustments she started working for me. And so 'The little moments I love' was born. Susan has now also put a video of the creation of my painting on her you tube channel, very nice to see. In the meantime I bought another painting through her website and she and her partner brought both of them to my home and hung them. I am very happy with my painting and think it is a real eye-catcher in my room. Thank you Susan for all your good care...

Yesterday Susan and her husband came to us with some paintings. A great way to make a good choice. And it worked! The painting 'Happiness' is beautiful. And what a lovely people these are. I'm super happy with it!

Altijd hadden wij al de wens om een schilderij van Susan aan de wand van onze woonkamer te hebben. Toen mijn lieve vrouw Simone 50 jaar werd, was dit voor mij de uitgelezen kans om haar hiermee te verrassen. Op een middag bij Susan naar binnen gestapt en gevraagd of zij hier haar creativiteit op los kon laten. Wat moest er allemaal op komen? Natuurlijk Simone met haar mooie rode krullen, een paard, (Simone en paarden = 1), onze 2 katten en de hond die wij binnenkort krijgen. Susan heeft 2 schetsen gemaakt en er sprong er 1 voor mij uit. Na een aantal weken was ons schilderij "Good company" geboren. Mooi, vrolijk, kleurrijk en enorm creatief was het resultaat van deze opdracht. Toen ik samen met Simone het atelier binnen kwam en er tranen over haar wangen rolden toen ze het schilderij zag, wist ik dat dit de goede keuze was geweest. Dus bent u op zoek naar "echt" iets moois en creatiefs voor in uw woning dan bent u bij Susan Ruiter aan het juiste adres!!! Susan, enorm bedankt. Met Simoon en jouw schilderij heb ik "Good company"!!

Susan Ruiter is an artist that I have been following for at least 15 years. I have been lucky to enjoy 2 of her beautiful works in my previous home, where I had the space for her beautiful large works! Now my daughter is going to live with her boyfriend and leave hotel mama! I immediately thought of Susan to make something beautiful for them! The result is great! I can wholeheartedly recommend Susan. Nothing is too much trouble. She thinks along and if you are in doubt about something, it will be changed! An amazing beautiful woman and artist.

I already had a painting and a painted cabinet by Susan, but today my great wish came true: a painting made especially for me. Susan feels exactly what you want, and in any case keeps sketching until you are completely satisfied. And then the result still exceeds your high expectations. The colours, the details, the finish, everything! My whole room has been boosted by the beautiful painting “Crazy Cat Lady”. I can watch it for hours and enjoy it for the rest of my life. Thank you Susan ❤️

We asked Susan to make a painting of our animals and our new living environment. She has succeeded wonderfully in this. The result is a colorful painting, entirely in the Susan style, which we are very happy with!

Thank you so much for the super nice painting, what a surprise… It is the most beautiful birthday present ever. You painted Pebbles perfectly, I think the colors are soooooo beautiful. Pure enjoyment every day. Thank you dear Susan

I had been looking for a painting for the wall near the dining table for a long time. For a long time I followed Susan's work, especially "the curvy ladies". I had a lot of doubts about the dimensions of the painting, so it was very nice that Susan wanted to come home with some canvases. The surprising thing was that the largest painting suited the room best. It is now as if the ladies are sitting at our table!

Susan did for my wife the "Mi belleza" illustration and it's been one of the best presents for my wife. She's super happy with it. I love the way Susan works... the idea... the sketch... the way to connect with her and her kindness. I'm willing to ask her for new works for the future. It's and amazing story that I recommend you to do it. Thanks Susan!

Wow Susan, our dog Mozart is at home, what a beautiful work of art you have delivered. Everything that suits Mozart and us. This is your 3rd artwork from Susan in our house and we enjoy it every day. Thank you again and see you soon.

I came into contact with Susan Ruiter at the end of 2019. We wanted to give our daughter, who lives independently, a beautiful, lasting and special gift for her 21st birthday. We could indicate what we liked, sea, dogs and of course a lady - Susan made sketches, went by and our daughter could still have a say in the final design. Susan got to work and we found it very pleasant and special to be able to drop by 2 more times during the process to see the progress - all this has made it a very special event for our daughter and she now has a very happy and hang beautiful painting in her apartment. She enjoys it every day.

Today we received our two wonderful Susan's paintings , her girls! We had been looking for the perfect matchy matchy girly gift, and having a piece of Susan's art in our home is such a mood, it makes us feeling better after a long day at work and it connects us, as friends, to stay always positive and never give up.

Today (October 28, 2020) our painting was delivered and hung. We are so happy with the wonderfull beautiful painting of our French Bulldog Elvis Gradje. We had an idea in mind to have a painting of our dog made with American accents because of our love for America, we once visited Graceland and got married in Las Vegas, badly wrong by Elvis Presley (the one and only). We wanted to immortalize our Elvis Gradje in an original way in Elvis style. A painting that suits us completely and the idea we had in mind, Susan put it on the canvas in an AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL AND DEFINITELY ORIGINAL way. Our Elvis Gradje was / is not really a fashion model, he did not listen and had / has patience, but yes it remains a Bulldog! What an artist Susan is and how nice to work with Susan. Thanks again for immortalizing our little Elvis Grad on the canvas. Really TOP !!

Today October 7, 2020 was the day: Susan came to deliver and hang our commissioned painting. It's really exactly as we imagined, TOP. The start-up process alone is an experience. First consult with each other, make wishes known, such as the subject to be painted, the colors and the size. Then a sketch by Susan, a home visit to fit and measure with a “test painting” and Susan wanted to taste the homely atmosphere where the artwork will be placed. Finally, just before the “finishing touch”, we payed a visit to Susan’s studio and put the finishing touches on the details. And now the painting is above our sofa and we and Beau are already looking at it with great pleasure. Susan is a TOPPER!

2 mooie schilderijen van Susan aan de muren van onze woonkamer hangen. We hebben meteen een heel andere woonkamer, zo vrolijk binnen lopen. Echt super blij mee en een hele aanrader. Thanx Susan.

For my birthday, my husband commissioned a painting by Susan. It was my wish to stand on the beach with the dog. It has become beautiful and now the third work we have of her. Every day it remains a joy to watch.

Recently we have become in the rich possession of a real Susan Ruiter! It hangs prominently in our living room and always puts a smile on our faces. For years we had been looking for “something” for the wall above the sofa, but each time we couldn't find what really made us happy. We regularly walked into Susan's studio and her art always makes us happy. At one point we heard that she also works on commission, which seemed interesting to us. We talked to Susan and it turned out that a lot was possible. Susan came to our home with some of her works to determine a color impression and a size. She made an offer without obligation and that's how things started. We submitted some photos and within a short period of time we received the first sketch. How surprising that was! How aptly she managed to portray us as a family, it was perfect. We immediately gave the order to continue with it. About three months later we received an invitation to come and see the result in the studio, before it would get the final finish. Now details could still be worked on. (in our case we still wanted a reference to our deceased son) Shortly afterwards the painting was delivered and hung in our living room. We are happy every day with the painting on which we stand as a family, but without it being such a family portrait thing. We are portrayed in the cheerful Susan way with a lot of personal details, which are significant to us. What is very striking for us is that our daughter is now pregnant and she is holding her cat like a baby, without us having reported this to Susan by order. We proudly show our “Together we make a Family” portrait to everyone who visits us.

I would like to surprise my wife Annette with a unique gift for her birthday. A while earlier she had told me about the original sketches of Susan Ruiter to be found on Instagram. I decided to contact Susan. We discussed the options for working out a previously made sketch. Of course there had to be room for my wife's love for hats, dresses, dachshunds and her great hobby; sewing! Susan suggested a nice color palette that wouldn't get boring and promised to make a nice watercolor out of it. My expectationa was surpassed when I went to pick up the work. A beautifully framed work of art with certificate. Fantastic color combination and a striking image. Once home I couldn't wait to hand it over to my wife and so gave it a day early! She was very surprised and felt honored with this unique gift. The artwork has been given a prominent place in the sewing workshop of her company Saar & Antje. Susan is really an artist!

Purchasing one of Susan's paintings has been my longterm wish. I have adored her artwork since I have seen it for the very first time a few years ago but I have never paid so much for painting before. I was not sure if it was worth it but then I took the decision and did it. And it was the best decision I could make. I am very happy with the process, Susan is super friendly and very profesional. The "Summer Romance" came well packed and is as breathtaking as expected. I cannot take my eyes off it!

From the first moment I saw the artworks by artist Susan Ruiter on social media, I was “sold”. And after a visit to her beautiful gallery in Vlaardingen, we asked her to make a commissioned artwork for us.
We are so happy with the painting “Our journey” that Susan made for us! Our love for traveling to our three favorite continents has rendered them so beautiful and striking. An asset to our home!

Susan made me a sketch wich she used for the painting in color. Susan takes the time for you and keeps you updated on her progress. I am very happy with the end result! I even got a little emotional when Susan delivered the painting to me and handed it to me. Thank you Susan for this, for me very special and valuable, painting ... -XXX-

When the Animalicious series came out it was immediately clear. Our pets, Tomcat Pablo and dog Kane, must also be immortalized. Susan's first two sketches were great fun right away, but didn't quite fit our idea and interior yet. Then I came up with the idea to link a 'Peaky Blinders' theme to it. The sketch that followed was complete. We left the rest to Susan and that can be entrusted to her. The end result is fantastic, love at first sight. Our two "men" in suits at the table, a bottle of Gin, the correct size and colors of our interior are reflected in the painting. The living room immediately became a lot cozier. Thanks Susan, we will enjoy this for a very long time.

Susan has designed a logo for my photography company that I just started. First of all I get super nice reactions on the design ... It is me, suits me, the colors, "the feeling" ... everything. Wow, super handsome .... You give Susan a few words about yourself, even if she never met you, but she sum up exactly who you are or what you want in a design. I immediately fell in love with the first design, it also has the right color combinations. Continuous contact with Susan, keeping appointments, great! I hope to have my logo made on my future company bus again. Thank you Susan for this professional start of my company!

Susan made a beautiful painting from me and my children, in her own unique style. All family symbolism are incorporated into it, so that it really tells family stories. I had to save for a while, but I am really happy and proud of it. When you tell Susan the facts, she adds the emotion. That is what makes her work not only beautiful but also unique. Warmly recommended!

And then we know for sure. We want a "Susan Ruiter" from our pets (which we have have and who have died). But what should it be and what will it look like? Don't worry, Susan knows how to make something out of everything. You give her a few catchwords and photos and she knows (she already has the sketch in her head exactly) how to process this in her work. After we order Susan first came to our house. To get a feel for the client and the space. Our dogs, who have passed away in the meantime, and our cats who are now in charge, are portrayed perfectly. Than she called, "Stop by to see the result". So much fun, enthusiastic how she is and exciting for us. Of course she is open to any adjustments, no problem. It has become so beautiful and it is not just a painting with a few dogs and cats, small aspects of the animals are incorporated. That gives us the feeling that it is really Our Painting.

A few years ago I saw Susan's work via Facebook. I was immediately in sold. I followed her work and also bought some small works. Then suddenly there was the call for a sketch, also possible with your pet. Now a horse is quite big, but formally still a pet ... so I ventured: is that also possible? Of course! The contact with Susan went very well. Just visiting the studio / gallery is always a party (and a problem, because I always see something fun!), Which makes discussing easy. Susan takes her time, it felt very familiar. The first sketch was not entirely what I had in mind, because I had something very strong in my head ... but we were able to discus that ... this has really made the result more than great. I'm so proud of it! Every day we enjoy her creation (s) on the wall! Guess three times who we asked to work out the image for our wedding card;)

I'm a big fan of Susan's paintings for many years. I sent a request for a sketch and what she had drawn for me was so special that I made use of her offer. The contact was very pleasant, could express my wishes and what is even better, she understands exactly what you mean! When I went to pick it up and saw it for the first time, it moved me a lot. She has managed to create exactly the feeling that I had in mind. It is also in a beautiful list! I keep watching it every day and enjoy! Thank you Susan! If possible I gave you an extra star :-)

Hello from the US ☺️ I am So Very Pleased with my New Piece “London Calling” The painting is beautifully done and it’s as if I’ve had her hanging on my wall forever. Susan your talent is amazing and I am so very grateful that you were able to do such a beautiful commission for me. I will be back to see you soon.

The sky is blue: We wanted something special above our couch for our new apartment. A painting of the Rotterdam skyline. We came to Susan and let her know what we wanted. She was allowed to unleash her own creativity. Susan came to our house to taste the atmosphere and to see what the color indications could be. The whole is a picture. A top painting with its own character. Susan thanks. TOP.

A commissioned painting. I saw something like that at someone else, I thought I would like it for my new kitchen. As if it must have been that way. It seems as if he has always hung there. The medallion has the profile of my deceased husband and my mother's ring. Magnificent. Thank you Susan and Ruud for hanging up.

Last week I did the workshop at Susan, I had a very nice and educational day, I can recommend it to everyone!

Really had a great workshop last Saturday with Susan in the gallery. Learned a lot and relaxed. Nice group of workshoppers and of course good guidance from Susan. A really great day. We had a delicious lunch at Tovino in Vlaardingen. Thank you so much Susan Ruiter !!

Beautiful work by Susan! We are excited. Thank you very much!

Only positive experiences with Susan Ruiter and her work. Her paintings make you happy and cheerful. An asset to any home. She also thinks about which artwork fits best in the room. She also has a beautiful gallery and studio. All very professional, but always with the best intentions for the buyer.

Susan Ruiter is an artist who works to make you happy and inspires. She appeals many people with her paintings. And she feels very well what kind of painting fits in your room / house / office.

We are very happy with the beautiful works of susan, recently also attended a nice workshop where I got good tips! I will definitely do it again !!

We are still happy with the several works we have from Susan. Have followed her well over the years. Just bought a nice statue again. Gives cosiness and color to your home.

We had been looking for a painting with ladies for some time and Susan managed to paint the right painting for us. "Amore di Famiglia" is now in place and how happy we are and how happy it makes us. A true work of art!! The painting clearly shows the relationship between mother and daughters. Thank you again, Susan, and we will visit you again soon.

A must for your wall. Susan's painting is a warm experience for the eye and gives you a good feeling. Great works!

I'm a fan of Susan Ruiter for years. The fat ladies in combination with the cheerful colors give a smile on your face.

We allready have for a number ofyears paintings from Susan in our house. We are still very happy with them! We are and remain a fan of her work!

Saturday 28 October, together with my wife Ineke, I had an instructive, pleasant and fun painting workshop by Susan Ruiter. We had never worked with brushes and pallete knives before. It was a great experience to see something fun emerge on a blank canvas. Star with the background, draw up your design with chalk and then build it up with knife and brushes with help and instructions from Susan. In between, a delicious lunch at restaurant Tovino. The end result was great, of all participants by the way. Thank you Susan and your daughter Mandy for the great fun and educational day.

Since October I became the proud owner of a beautiful painting by Susan! With "Lazy Evening" I have 4 beautiful and funny cats above my bed. Everey night they take me to dreamland. When I first saw a painting of her in a gallery in Rotterdam 2 years ago, I was immediately sold. After a visit to Susan's workshop in September, it turned out to be no problem for her to bring the work all the way to my home (Belgium) including hanging it up! Again a big thank you for this!

Cheerful artworks, beautiful colors and figures

Fun and cheerful and always surprising

They look beautiful ........ Regina has been fond of the fat ladies for years. I really like them, but mostly too colorful. After a visit to the studio in Vlaardingen, while enjoying a glass of wine, we came across a wonderful compromise. A black and white artwork of three busty ladies on the beach called "Sunny Beach" ............. and now he is showing off with us. We look at it very satisfied, we look at it again, and again and again. Being satisfied is what this is all about. Theo and Regina,

This year my twin sister and I became "sarah", we celebrated this great. I wanted to give her a lasting and valuable gift but couldn't think of anything. Then I walked into an exposition with Susan Ruiter and suddenly got an idea. So I went to her the next day with a picture of my sister with her 2 dachshunds and asked if she wanted to make a painting of this. That worked out great, my sister had tears in her eyes and everyone loves the painting. I am very grateful to Susan for giving this lovely gift to my dear sister.

I once saw a painting by Susan Ruiter and I immediately liked it very much. It made me so happy: curvy ladies who do not meet the 'ideal' image, but go through life so self-consciously. All these years I followed Susan and eventually it got so far that we went to her studio in Vlaardingen. And now our painting is with us!! We are very happy with it. I watch it every day and then get happy again. Thank you Susan Ruiter!

I was touched right from the very beginning that Susan started painting. Of those little pictures with mushrooms, plants and animals. Rien Poortvliet would have become jealous. Then came the great work where I have another one in the living room. An Egyptian lady who receives gifts. We were proud of our girlfriend and it still has the best spot in the house. Now even more proud of how she grew in her abilities, her personality, love and dedication so close to the surface. Nice to be like that. Love you xxx

I'am completely in love with my 2 paintings. Wonderful work by Susan.

Another painting by Susan especially made for me and that's how it feels. Just as I imagined it and the lady lives up to her title. Lots of viewing pleasure and a very warm feeling for Susan and Mandy of course I don't forget her husband who has drilled a hole for me, he is also sweet.

We are very proud of our daughter who has developed herself into an artist known at home and abroad. We have, over the years, already owned 14 works of art, including a few beautiful watercolors from her early days. We recently hung a large piece of work above the sideboard that makes us very happy. Susan we love you and your beautiful works of art very much.

I went to the workshop on February 25 and I can only write with praise about her and her daughter, they made sure we were not short of coffee, etc. She was also very cordial just like Susan. She explains everything well where to start etc. She always came to see how the painting progressed and told some things how you could do something. I had a pleasant educational day and I will definitely meet again with my girlfriend, who unfortunately had become ill. I'll pass by again when I go cycling, thanks Susan

My feedback is especially positive. Nice, educational and pleasant workshop. The result is ALWAYS beautiful, thanks to Susan's tips. She teaches you to look closely and also how to apply the material if you want to accentuate shadow and light. It is also a generous workshop. Good paint quality, brushes in all shapes and sizes, and delicious snacks and drinks. Lunch at an excellent Italian restaurant just steps away. The studio has a pleasant temperature, you can tell from everything that Susan goes for quality and does everything that you have an unforgettable day as a student. This workshop is highly recommended! I've been for the 3rd time already and looking forward to my 4th!

This painting feels so good. There is now a nice balance in my room and I it makes me feel happy, thanks !!!

Of course I love to post a review! My first artwork by Susan was for my new home. Saved hard and wanted a real Susan Ruiter. That was more than 8 years ago. In the following years, a few more works were added. Besides that I get cheerful from the ladies, I really enjoy watching the work from the couch or bath. The colors remain beautiful, the paintings are never boring!! Even as I write this while having lunch, I enjoy Susan. You will appreciate them more and more.

Great, every day I am happy that I asked Susan to design my logo. She understood exactly what atmosphere I want to create with my salon and translated this into a beautiful lady!!!! My real Susan Ruiter shows off everything, cups, wall, stamp cards and so on and everyone really responds positively! Happy and proud of my Susan Ruiter.

Good educational workshop and a fun day together with my daughter. In a very relaxed atmosphere with a friendly and talented artist and all her helpers! Food and drinks were top. Enough space for your own input and at the right time a little help for the finishing touch. Thanks to all this I made a beautiful painting. I will soon be registering for a new workshop because I have already received my first assignment!

My favorite artist. Always check if there are new paintings already. She is always up to date. Together with my daughter already done 2 workshops. Very nice and learned a lot. In October we go again. Looking forward!!!! The best thing about Susan's paintings is that they always makes you happy.

We have 3 paintings by Susan, it is really addictive. We rented other paintings before we had one from Susan, but we were tired of them after a year. I can keep looking at Susan's paintings, it remains fun!

Wonderful work. A great asset to your interior.

So happy with our painting 'on commission'! Our car and dog have never been so cheerfully placed. No photo can beat that .....

More than 1 year ago Susan Ruiter made the most beautiful wedding card. Very proud of it. The painting is beautiful and gives us beautiful memories.

Well-organized workshop! And also educational. Recommended!

Recently also a real Susan hanging above our couch. It still makes me happy every day.

I have 3 beautiful artworks by Susan and I still enjoy looking at them every day. Perhaps once again a bronze statue.... this is on my wish list.
