Summer Wheat (b. 1977, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) is known for her vibrant paintings, multifaceted sculptures, and immersive installations that weave together the history of art and craft,materiality, figuration, and abstraction.

Recent solo exhibitions include the Mint Museum (Charlotte, NC); Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art (Kansas City, MO); KMAC Museum (Louisville, KY); Shulamit Nazarian (Los Angeles, CA); among others. Wheat’s work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Dallas Museum of Art (Dallas, TX); de Young Museum (San Francisco, CA); Peréz Art Museum (Miami, FL); The Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA); The Mint Museum, (Charlotte, NC;) and the Speed Art Museum in (Louisville, KY).
