New work by Nigerian born artist Kanayo Ede.

Kanayo Ede was born in the eastern region of Nigeria and now resides in northern Georgia. He went to college in the northern part of Nigeria and worked as an instructor, designer and illustrator in the west before leaving to paint full time in America. Early influences come from the colorful African textile he was exposed to as the son of a fabric dealer.

" This is why I love painting landscapes. . I can move trees, clouds, houses and other elements around and they never complain".
