About the Artist

Hi, I’m Summer β€” a Chicago-based artist specializing in live watercolor guest portraits for weddings and special events.

After years working in graphic design, I rediscovered my love for painting and knew I wanted to create something more personal and hands-on. Live guest portraits bring a fun, interactive and personal element to your celebration, and I want to be a part of that!

I’m currently booking Chicagoland weddings and events for 2026!

What Clients are Saying!


β€œSummer was absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend her enough! She is extremely professional and all of my guests were raving about how awesome it was to have a painter at cocktail hour. The portraits were so good and having her there really added an amazing touch to my wedding. 10/10 would hire her again.”
