Summer head shot

From fingertip to form — a journey of making, feeling, and becoming.

Hi, I’m Summer, the artist behind Fingertip Art Studio — a space where touch, curiosity, and emotion shape each form. My journey began with traditional Chinese painting and grew into a love for clay during my studies at Cabrillo College.

Through the blending of ceramics, digital fabrication, and painting, I explore how memory and identity take shape in the language of material. Each work carries a quiet story — a reflection of connection, transformation, and the beauty of becoming.

Outside the studio, I cherish a peaceful life with my family and our two lovely dogs.
