The Gallery showcases the spirit art of the Six Nations Iroquois. Original paintings, soapstone sculptures, and prints by the local talented artisans are featured.

There are three sub-sections displaying the artworks available at Two Turtle Art Gallery: Paintings, Prints, and Sculptures. The works displayed on the website are just a few of the items offered at the Gallery. Note: Due to lighting conditions, there may be reflections on the glass-framed images.

Paintings

Themes throughout the Two Turtle Art Gallery depict ancient ways of the Iroquois legends, clans and culture. Images range from contemporary graphics and realism to the mystical. Original paintings are usually done in acrylic (water-based) paints on canvas, canvas board or water colour paper in a variety of techniques.

With ethics in mind, very limited edition prints are available at the gallery of certain images but not necessarily all. The editions are usually lithographs, silk screen (serigraphs), or designed stencils and painted by hand. All prints are done on acid-free paper.

New print editions are now being produced using the Giclée method. The Giclée printing process uses the world's most advanced reproduction technology to capture the true essence of the original. The Giclée process provides unsurpassed depth of colour, and in the fine art business it has overtaken lithographs and screen-printing as the dominant and preferred way for artists, galleries and publishers to make accurate renderings of artistic work. Giclée prints have unsurpassed longevity and when framed properly and displayed under suitable lighting conditions will last for generations.

Sculptures

For centuries Iroquois carvers have used raw materials to fashion sculptures that portray traditional Hodenosaunee life; its people, its animals and its legends. From generation to generation, legends and skills are passed creating a strong line of talented carvers who transform ordinary into works of art.
