Welcome to TURLE ART, my online gallery to view and purchase Art from Africa.
I have been working as an artist fulltime for the past 15 years,working with a variety of subjects and mediums.  My passion has been to capture the vibrancy and intense colours that formed my life in Africa,and that any traveller to Africa will experience,on arrival in this uniquely beautiful and mysterious continent...from the simple yet awe-inspiring harmony of colours on the wall of the most simple dwelling,to the last rays of the sun playing out the intense burnt umbers,yellow-ochres and bamboo greens on the face of a woman who knows what Africa truly is.

From the look in a big-cats eyes as it prowls through the darkening forest at twilight,something which until the invention of sophisticated weaponry and metal clad vehicles that so successfully separate us from our ancestral world,invoked a mystical respect and wonder in the hearts of men...

Where else on earth can such a variety of wildlife and raw nature be experienced?  in such a diverse and beautiful world there still can only be seconds to the ancient mysteries caught in Africas timeless spider-web of history,a web that encompasses everything that we are.

I was born in Kenya, where i spent my childhood learning to love the 'bush',where my early influences were formed,and this has been the inspiration for the majority of my work.

I hope that you enjoy the paintings displayed here,and will let your friends and colleagues know about this site.
