Juli Baker and Summer

Juli Baker and Summer (b. 1993, Bangkok, Thailand), also known as "Phaan"  Chanaradee Chatrakul Na Ayudhya, is an artist, writer, and traveler whose creative journey began with aspirations in fashion design. After studying Fashion and Textiles at Chulalongkorn University, she discovered her true passion for painting and embraced the path of an artist. Since launching her professional career in 2015, she has become known for vibrant, sun-soaked color palettes and depictions of young women with strange, almost abstract bodies, sprawled at ease and suffused with emotion.

Her work is deeply rooted in lived experience, personal memories, everyday conversations, travels, favorite books, pop culture, society, and politics, all of which inform her practice. Beyond her artistic endeavors, Juli is committed to feminism and actively engages in the fight for freedom of expression through her art, treating painting as a larger form of journaling. Many of her works feature fragments of her handwriting, underscoring her identity as both storyteller and diarist.
