Hello Art Lovers,

In this month's newsletter we tell you about Ankeli Christopher, an emerging artist out of Nigeria. His work is colorful and whimsical. We know you're going to love him!

We also share with you some of our recent interior decoration projects and we look back at some really cool events that were held at the gallery this past month.

Lastly, don't forget about our 1st Annual Art Supply Drive benefitting my alma mater, Jack Yates High School. It is my hope that we can all come together to support arts education for one of the most important historically black high schools in the city.

All my best,
Lloyd

ARTIST SPOT-1

The Gite Gallery is proud to welcome new artist Ankeli Christopher to our stable of very talented artists.

He was born in Kaduna, Nigeria in 1972 and currently lives in Lagos, Nigeria. The 8th of nine children, Ankeli graduated with a higher national diploma in painting from Kano State Polytechnic. Christopher also studied art at Ahmadu Bello University. He is known for his wonderful watercolor city scenes as well as his colorful, almost cartoon style paintings of women and children.

Ankeli works on canvas as well as paper.
