Susanne Weber

The Wool Painter

My inspiration

I love those magical moments when the veil of the familiar is torn away and the boundaries between fantasy and reality begin to blur.

My works invite you to pause amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, take a deep breath, and find peace and strength in contemplation.

With art that exudes authenticity, warmth, and a connection to nature , I’ll make you and your rooms happy.

    “…to me, your paintings are emotions expressed through colors and shapes!”

My Career

Susanne Weber, Viennese felt artist, with one of her works

As a biologist with a deep connection to nature and a passion for textile techniques, my goal is to reinterpret and revitalize the ancient art of felting in a contemporary way.

I’ve been “painting” with wool since 2015.

My works are regularly featured in national and international exhibitions and have garnered a loyal following of collectors—people who appreciate what makes them special.

Since 2023, following a successful career as a medical translator, I have devoted myself entirely to my artistic work. I am a member of the Professional Association of Visual Artists in Austria, Kulturvernetzung Niederösterreich, and the ETN European Textile Network.

The year 2024 marks the launch of the Edition FeltartNextGen®:

In combination with acoustic panels , my paintings are transformed into innovative masterpieces that harmonize beauty and utility.

In this way, modern felt art becomes not only a visual experience but also a sustainable one—nourishment for the soul with ecological benefits.
