The studio
Paintings that feel like coming home
Summer Ray has spent more than thirty years learning what color can do. Trained in oil painting at Brigham Young University and mentored by Bonnie Flood and J. Kirk Richards, she paints for people who cherish home and family and love the finer side of life. Every piece leaves her Georgia studio signed, and most arrive ready to hang.

Three paintings, three stories
The commission that became a favorite
A Bouquet for Susan
Painted for one Susan in particular, at 36 by 24 inches of gallery wrapped canvas. It sold the moment it was finished, and it remains the studio’s favorite proof of what happens when someone trusts an artist with their story.
A Christmas heirloom
The Man Upstairs
Santa, in quiet conversation with the One the season is really about. Families frame it, gift it and bring it out every December. The 16 by 20 framed original is still available, and prints start at just $65.
From the sunflower series
Sunflower Sunday
The grandest of a series that has a sunflower for nearly every day of the week. Framed at 24 by 24 inches, with 11 by 14 prints available for the rooms that need a little more sun.
The print studio
Any painting, in print, from $55
Fell in love with a piece that has already been collected? Nearly every painting in the gallery is available as an archival print, in four sizes, on paper or giclee canvas. Some editions come signed by Summer herself.
Commissions open
Have a story worth painting?
A wedding bouquet before it fades. The family dog. The house you grew up in. Summer takes a limited number of commissions, and every one begins with a conversation.
