WHAT YOU HAVE SAID ABOUT US
Gathinja Yamokoski, Owner
Welcome to our online "Village" here on True African Art .com.
I own this online gallery and am one of its dozens of artists. Having been born & raised in Kenya, East Africa, I have lived in the USA since 2002, just north of New York City, in Westchester County. My husband of and I have been together for 18 years. I go back to Africa almost every year to visit my artists, family, and friends. In 2014, it was an honor for me to become a United States citizen and a first time Mother.
Serving you, our clients, and the 85 artists that have been featured here on True African Art .com has been the privilege of a lifetime.
As we do in Africa, a very warm welcome to you! We want you to own a piece of art from us. If there is anything I can do to assist in your choices and decisions, please feel free to contact me anytime.
What Artists have said about us
A Brief History of our Climb Online
Starting in 2004 and running through 2008, we were hired by Todd Schaffer to manage his site while he was in Kenya working for an NGO. We first got connected because I knew Todd's wife in Kenya.
When his contract expired, Todd returned to the United States. Naturally, he could again handle the site on his own and noting our excellent work in his absence, he strongly encouraged us in writing to open up our own website, which we did just before 2010.
Since being on our own online, we have sold over 4,500 original paintings from 85 different artists in 12 African countries.

We thank you for loving art and the culture of Africa. The communities there are not always perceived by the common visitor, but reveal themselves to those who seek out true friendship with its citizens and have had the chance to live there for many years.
