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

African artists have faced exploitation for far too long. It's time for change.

In many parts of the world, including the United States, freedom, justice, and equality are often compromised.

Africans have a deep-rooted history in America, dating back to 1619. They were predominantly enslaved and later had limited rights. In fact, American history is deeply intertwined with Black history.

To counteract historical injustices, we've established an all-African staff and collaborate directly with African artists from The Motherland. Wherever we are, we purchase artwork at fair prices, often set by the artists themselves. We ensure timely and fair payment, serve everyone with the same respect and integrity, whether they are artists or our clients.

Our artists are thrilled to know their paintings are cherished in homes far away, sometimes thousands of miles. You made this possible! Thank you!
