Kanayo Ede was born in the
eastern region of Nigeria,
went to college in the north
and worked as an instructor,
designer / illustrator in the west
before he left the country 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.
Today, Kanayo says that he
is inspired by all the colors and
shapes embedded in nature,
"This is why I love painting
sceneries.... I can move trees,
clouds,houses and other
elements around and they
never complain. "
Kanayo offers you original
paintings and hand embellished
giclees from his studio in North
Georgia.
