Could it be turning 60, or maybe it’s Spring Fever…?
I’ve just re-christened my Aunt Soup Etsy shop–it will now be known as the Susan Sorrell Hill shop: same exquisite original watercolors and works on paper. All your bookmarks will still work. (There’s a link in the WordPress sidebar here.) Thanks for dropping by!

I work mostly from imagination, but sometimes a bit of reference helps a lot!

Have you ever wished you could own one of my original paintings? Now you can…
I’m excited to announce the Grand Opening of my new Etsy shop, Aunt Soup! Here you will find original watercolors and other works on paper made by me, Susan Sorrell Hill (alias Aunt Soup), along with photos, informational tidbits about my working process, my studio…and another glimpse of life through the eyes of an artist.
If you’ve never been to the Etsy site, you’re missing something special: a vast collection of artists and craftspersons working in every conceivable medium and price range. It’s a feast for the eyes, and there are many ways to search and site tools to help you navigate through the deliciousness of it all…Gift Ideas, Category Searches, Member’s Curated Treasuries, Member’s Favorites, Newly Posted Items and Color Searches, just to name a few. There is always new work to be seen, and Etsy has made it very easy for collectors to browse and purchase directly from the maker, and get to know them as real people in the process. It’s a shopper’s paradise…and it’s also very easy to purchase that special item that’s caught your fancy!
Visit me and my work at Aunt Soup here.
(And yes, Aunt Soup is a family nickname from way back…)
I am an artist who also writes, working in watercolors and oils. Timeless stories and that most interesting of questions, "Why?" inspire me, and the symbology and archetypes found in myths, fairy and folk tales are especially intriguing. Two of my own illustrated tales are currently seeking their publishers.
