Summer Hills-Bonczyk (she/her) is a visual artist and educator. “The physical properties of unfired clay - shapeless, humble, accessible - are my constant muse.” Summer’s diverse creative practice includes pottery, performance, writing, video, installation and sculpture. Her work responds to our longing for patterns and rituals in a complex and increasingly disembodied world.

Summer holds an MFA in Ceramic Art from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale and is a faculty member in the Art & Art History department at Macalester College. She teaches Yoga, meditation and creative movement workshops and retreats locally and internationally and is the founder of the Performance Art Intensive. She lives in Minneapolis.
