About our creator

Anjelica “Anjie” Moore, a Chicago native, has a multi-faceted background that mirrors her artwork. She is academically trained in Economics but has always had a strong passion for art. An eclectic, free spirit balanced with the rationality of an Economist.

Many would say she is well-travelled, having drawn inspiration from her explorations overseas. The most notable and life-changing travel experience she accounts for was in 2011 when her beloved university, Florida A&M University (FAMU) received a grant from a top agricultural company. Anjelica was personally invited by faculty to represent FAMU and participate in an international research project. This trip included stops to Ghana and Kenya. That same year, she received a scholarship to South Africa. These two trips opened her eyes and heart to a world of which she had not yet met. Traveling to these three countries inspired her to live abroad after completion of her Bachelor’s Degree. Soon thereafter, she moved to London, UK for her Masters in African Studies majoring in Economic Development. While abroad, she started collecting Ankara fabric, initially to sew with but instead used to create mixed media art. A fusion of glass, fabric and other materials were mingled into her creations, which she perfected over time. Before starting her art business, Anjelica worked both in the private sector and served her country as an employee of the U.S. Federal Government. She has worked at three different agencies including: The United States Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service as a Survey Analyst, The General Services Administration and as a Researcher serving veterans at The Department of Veterans Affairs.  In 2017, Anjelica found a studio in Chicago’s emerging art district and in 2019 founded “Atelier du Afrikware, LLC” translating to “Studio of Afrikware.”
