Stories of the Wild is a series of collections rooted in nature, memory, and the moments that ask you to slow down. Each collection carries its own theme and storyline. Each painting holds a piece of that story. This is where it begins.

Where the Wild Begins

Theme: Discovery 

Step into the untamed heart of nature. Mountains, storms, and animals alive with colour and feeling.

Where the Wild Belongs

Theme: Connection

We are part of something bigger. These paintings explore the threads that tie us to the land and to each other.

Where the Wild Awakens

Theme: Renewal

The world stirs again. This collection follows nature's quiet return and the hope that travels with it.

Where the Wild Rests

Theme: Balance and Grounding

In stillness, we find ourselves. A collection about coming home to what matters.

Meet Susan Boras

I spent decades in corporate leadership before I found my way back to what my soul had always known. Now I paint stories of nature, memory, and the moments that remind us we are alive. My work is for those who want their home to feel like a sanctuary.

  • "I couldn’t be more delighted with the painting I purchased from Susan. The quality of materials used was top-notch, and the professional packaging ensured it arrived safely for its international journey. The rich, vibrant colours in the artwork beautifully captured a sense of connectedness that resonated with me on a deep level. Every time I walk past it, I can’t help but pause and soak in its uplifting and joyful energy. It’s a genuine source of happiness in my home, and I’m so grateful to have it. Thank you, Susan, for creating such a wonderful piece of art."

  • "My wife and I are so happy with the lavender field painting by Susan. Every time I gaze at it, it makes me want to step right into the canvas and run my fingers through the lavender, feel the warmth of the sun and go explore the cottage in the distance. The colors and thick textures make me want to reach out and touch every time I walk by! The painting has found its place front and centre in our living room where we can experience the overwhelming calmness. Susan’s beautiful soul shines through her art, and her passion and life experiences leap off the canvas. Thank you, Susan!"

  • "Susan did an outstanding job on our commission paintings of Penelope, the Mucklecoo muse for my great niece. The fun-loving spirit and happy feeling of Penelope shows through the chosen vibrant colours of yellow and soft blues. How exciting for a young girl to feel! From start to finish, Susan explained each process and benefits of size, dimensions, color, enhancement, and ensuring I’d receive the final product in a safe way. Susan is totally committed to showing her creative side and also providing excellent customer service. Thank you Susan."
