About the Artist

Hi, I’m Summer — a Chicago-based artist specializing in live watercolor guest portraits for weddings and special events. Live guest portraits bring a fun, interactive and personal element to your celebration, and I want to be a part of that!

After years working as a graphic designer, I rediscovered my love for painting and knew I wanted to create something more personal and hands-on. I am dedicated to bringing personalized art to weddings and events, and I hope to make Sumthing Artsy LLC my full-time commitment in the future!

I’m currently booking Chicagoland weddings and events for 2026 & 2027.
