About the Artist

Summer Aldis is a self-taught, award-winning artist working in graphite. Her monochrome drawings of anonymous women in quiet domestic spaces explore themes of quiet contemplation, nostalgia, and absence. With faces turned away, her subjects invite contemplation of femininity, vulnerability, and the unseen stories that shape our inner worlds.

In 2023, Summer held her first solo show at Lethbridge Gallery, and later that year won the biennial $35,000 Naked & Nude Art Prize. Hers was the first drawing to win the award in its 34 years.
