Michele Tejuola Turner

(American, b. 1956)

Michele Tejuola Turner was born and raised in Detroit Michigan, the child of two Southern emigres. After graduating from the Cass Technical High School (Detroit) in 1974 and the Columbus College of Art and Design (Columbus, Ohio) in 1978, she worked in retail advertising and designed catalogs and other collateral for department stores. In the 1990s, she moved to North Carolina, where she established herself as a gourd artist. Michele Tejuola Turner: In Praise of Our Mothers was one of the opening exhibitions in 2002.

See Grandma Nettie along with five other works from Michele Tejuola Turner as part of 20 Years now on view at CAM.
