About Us
True African Art .com's Staff
I, Gathinja, an African artist myself, own True African Art.com. I was born and raised in Kenya, East Africa and have lived now in America since 2002. I paint abstract African art. My staff and I, consisting of Edwin "Omosh" Omondi and Michael Kivindyo, research and network the African art paintings scene directly in Africa where we find and buy from the African artists on site. They send or I bring back the paintings to my home in the suburbs of New York City, where most of your paintings are shipped from. Click the name links on the left to learn more about my staff and I.

Following the Fair Trade Federation's Principles by being "Loyal to Artists...Loyal to You"
Africa is sometimes found to be an impoverished continent in many regards. African artists, along with some countries other citizens, like Kenyans, struggle to find work and when they do, it still is not enough to provide a life that is easy and abundant.
With this in mind, we decided the slogan for True African Art.com ought to be "Loyal to Artists...Loyal to You." We chose this motto because it encapsulates the ideals and beliefs that guide our work with you and our artists. In doing so we are able to build solid and beneficial relationships that provides work to our African artists and follows the Fair Trade Federation's principles.
True African Art is committed to the established Fair Trade Federation principles when we work with our African artists. This transparency means respecting our artists' dignity and talent by paying them directly at prices they most often set, providing up front deposits for their work when appropriate, and a pledge to do repeat business with an artist when their artwork sells. All of this gives our African artists a job to do, money to make, and a better life to live. Best of all, we know most of our artists' personally and we keep in touch with them. Our relationship with them formats the virtues of honesty, good communication, and a serious practice of responsibility so that trust and respect centers between us and is held in high regard for such a international relationship. We are "Loyal to Artists...Loyal to You." Read below to see what action we put behind this philosophy.
"Loyal to Artists" means:
-
We buy our artworks directly from the African artist whenever we can and not from a gallery, so that the artist alone profits.
-
Since we buy most artworks directly, our artists profit immediately and don't have to wait for their painting to sell on our site before getting paid.
-
We pay our artists a fair price for their paintings that most often they set, so that the artists are not exploited.
-
We give most of our artists a substantial, up front, cash deposit for the custom artwork they will make for us.
-
We give our African artists free, worldwide exposure and promotion through a quality website of True African Art.com.
-
We attempt to keep in touch with most of our artists we know personally. We don't "Buy and Bye."
-
We consist of an all African ancestry staff, so that artists deal with someone from their own culture, not one they are not familiar with.

-
We want our commitment to you to result in your commitment to us.
