Wine Country Small Votive Gift Set LANG

A prolific illustrator and award-winning watercolorist, Susan Winget was born and raised in North Carolina. Working from her Charlotte-based studio, her designs capture the timeless nostalgia of country life and a love for traditional values on everything from calendars to tabletop accessories (Lang stoneware).

After graduating from UNC Chapel Hill with a Fine Arts degree, Susan began painting watercolors for art galleries and gift shops. She married Al Winget in 1976 and, after opting to stay at home to raise their children, she opened The Farmhouse Studio. Soon three friends joined her in the studio as the small business began producing images for greeting cards, calendars and other stationery items.

In 1987, The Lang CompaniesTM published Susan's first watercolor calendar, The Heart & Home Calendar. A variety of stationery products for Lang followed, including collectible figurines, ornaments, candles, boxes and books, notably The Night Before Christmas, Old Glory, Everyday Angels, The Night at Humpback Bridge and The Visit.

Susan has enjoyed such honors as being commissioned to design the 1995 and the 1996 program cover for the Pageant of Peace, which organizes the lighting of the National Christmas Tree. She has also created images for Colonial Williamsburg and the National Historic Trust. Susan's paintings reside in private and corporate art collections.
