Susan Reiter is a Canadian artist whose work celebrates the intricate beauty of birds, water, and the natural world. Working across acrylic, oil, watercolour, and mixed media, her paintings reflect over 40 years of artistic exploration grounded in detailed realism and emotional clarity. Originally from Moncton, New Brunswick, Reiter brings a deep connection to Atlantic Canada's tranquil landscapes into her work, even as she paints today from her studio in Kanata, Ontario.
Her art often focuses on serene moments in nature—birds in flight, gentle water scenes, and natural compositions that invite contemplation. Reiter’s work appeals to collectors who appreciate realism with poetic nuance and a sense of place.
In addition to her studio practice, Reiter has taught art for over two decades, offering classes to both adults and children from her home studio. Her dual passion for painting and teaching reflects her lifelong commitment to creative expression and visual storytelling.
Her work has been featured in local Ottawa galleries and is part of private collections in Canada and internationally. As an active member of several Ottawa-based art societies, Susan Reiter continues to expand her practice while contributing to Canada’s vibrant art community.
