“True African Art”
“True African Art” is an online gallery and marketplace launched in 2009 that displays paintings by African artists. The project is dedicated to encouraging a positive conversation of African culture. The website is owned by Gathinja Yamokoski, a Kenyan native who has lived in Westchester County, a suburb of New York City, since 2002. Till date, the collection has featured over 2,000 original paintings from 75 artists from 12 countries inside Africa, mainly Kenya and Ghana. Gathinja travels to Africa yearly to find new painters.
