GATHINJA YAMOKOSKI, THE FOUNDER OF TRUE AFRICAN ART,grew up in Kenya, East Africa. In these 25 years, she witnesed the impact poverty can toil on any individual or community, while experiencing a strong kinship with her peers that transcended this physical reality.

In 2000, Gathinja earned a College degree in Fashion Design. In 2002, Gathinja relocated to The United States to marry her husband whom she met while he was volunteering in Kenya. In the years that followed, Gathinja traveled extensively, inside and outside the USA. Here, she adopted a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. Gathinja also regularly visits Kenya to nurture her connection with local artists and her family. She became a U.S. citizen in 2014, the same year she and her husband’s child was born.

Gathinja Yamokoski’s online art business journey began in 2004, managing another person's African art sales and inventory. In 2008, she was inspired by that person to create her own gallery.

Established in 2009, True African Art is now the leading platform for authentic African paintings, dedicated to critical evaluation of skillfulness, legitimacy, and truthfulness in every artwork that is curated.

Part of the Solution

For too long, African Artists' paintings have been exploited. As Africans ourselves, we are here to change this.

We live in a time where freedom, justice, and equality are abused in some parts of the world, including the United States of America.

Africans' have a 400 year history in America, from 1619 to today, most of the time under the bondage of slavery and later with very limited rights. Essentially, American History has become threaded by Black History.

To counter the foreign police of history, we hold an all African staff and deal directly with African artists born and raised in the Motherland. We buy their artwork at fair prices that the artists often determine with us. We pay them well, in full, and on time. And we pass the same treatment to you, whoever you are, wherever you are.

Our artists are truly thankful when they hear the news that their paintings are being enjoyed and living in another person's house, perhaps thousands of miles away. You did this!   Thank you!
