Timothy Orikri

Painter, one of the few to have exhibited at the Detroit Public Library's Main Library. The son of a Christian minister, Timothy is very concerned in his artwork with spir­i­tu­al­i­ty and music.

Timothy Orikri has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally. Even limiting it to his exhibits in Michigan, it's a very long listing which we haven't yet had time to review and format. For now let's at least mention his 2012 exhibit at Start Gallery. That same year he also exhibited at the Carr Center and at the Detroit Public Library.
