A hand-drawn tribute to surf culture + saltwater souls.

I’m Bailey—an artist, surfer, and mama based on the Kona coast of Hawai‘i.

Summer Swell Studio was born from a deep connection to the ocean and a desire to create work that reflects how it feels to be in it—present, grounded, and in flow.

My background spans communication design, fine art, surface pattern design, and years of visual storytelling for lifestyle brands, but it’s the rhythm of coastal living that continues to shape my work.

Through bold color, layered texture, and hand-drawn forms, my work explores water as both subject and metaphor. Each piece begins as an original painting or sketch, evolving into fine art prints and surface pattern designs that carry a sense of movement, softness, and connection to the natural world.

The studio collection is rooted in personal experience—moments in the ocean, shifting light, and the quiet transformations that happen when we slow down. From textiles and home goods to apparel and paper products, the work is designed to live beyond the canvas—bringing a sense of coastal ease into everyday spaces.

Summer Swell Studio offers fine art prints, original artwork, and surface pattern designs available for licensing partnerships, creative collaborations, and commissioned projects. I love working with brands that value creativity, sustainability, and a connection to the natural world.

Let's work together.

For those who feel most like themselves in the water—this work is for you.
