Jite is a Seattle based artist and has exhibited widely in the area, most recently at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. She studied printmaking at the California College of Arts and the Cornish College of the Arts, and received an MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering from the University of Washington.
Jite is known for her large-scale figurative collages featuring graphic silhouettes of the human form layered on top of highly patterned backgrounds. These printed elements are stitched together and treated with beeswax.
Jite’s work is an account of context and belonging in a constantly shifting socio-economic landscape. Jite finds her direct inspiration from everyday objects and experiences of shared cultural cues and symbols.
