Jite Agbro is a Nigerian American print artist who grew up in Seattle, WA. Her colorful figurative work features layered patterns, sharp contrast, and fabric-like textures. She uses traditional and non-traditional printmaking techniques such as collage, sewing, and encaustic to transform paper and fabric into bold silhouettes with striking backgrounds.

Conceptually her work focuses on nonverbal communication, the process of exchanging shared cultural, historical, and familial cues between individuals and groups, often using garments, gestures, to reference culturally significant symbolism.

Galleries
Jite currently shows work at Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Seattle, WA and Museo Gallery in Langley, WA

Jite studied Fine art at Cornish College of the Arts and California College of the Arts before completing a B.A. in Environmental Design at Evergreen State College and an M.S. in Design and Engineering at the University of Washington.

Seattle-area organizations where Jite has received support and project funding include Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, The Neddy Foundation, 4Culture, Artist Trust, Shunpike, Pratt Fine Arts Center, and The James & Janie Washington Jr. Foundation.
