Haidee-Jo Summers is one of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary painters, widely recognised for her vibrant, light-filled oil paintings that capture the poetry of everyday life. Her work is a dynamic embodiment of her philosophy: to find beauty in the ordinary and intimate rather than the grand vista. This approach is central to her practice of painting ‘en plein air’, a demanding process that she uses to capture fleeting moments of light with fresh, direct brushwork. An artist of the highest calibre, Haidee-Jo is the Vice President of the Royal Institute of Oil painters (VPROI) and an elected member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA). These prestigious affiliations signify her position within an elite circle of the nation’s leading artists, with her work exhibited annually at the Mall Galleries in London. Her exceptional talent has been consistently recognised through a career of professional acclaim, including multiple first prizes at international plein air events and her notable title as 'Artist of the Year' in 2012. Her expertise extends beyond the canvas. As an author of two acclaimed books on oil painting, with her first, Vibrant Oils, translated into multiple languages, she is also a respected educator and an editorial consultant for The Artist magazine. Her remarkable body of work is testament to her skill and determination, providing collectors with a powerful and enduring celebration of light, life, and her masterful command of the oil medium.
