Turner was born in Boston in 1983. He was raised in the countryside of Maine where he was home-schooled until the age of fifteen, when he moved to the South of France. There, he attended a French high school before moving to Toulouse, where he passed his international baccalaureate. Immediately after receiving his diploma, Turner moved to Paris. He relocated to his current home of New York City to attend the Parsons School of Design, where he received a bachelors degree in Illustration.
Turner has long been fascinated and inspired by human nature, our varying motivations and desires. His work continues to be emotionally-based, as he describes it, inspired by natural beauty, dreams and psychology. "To me, art is very emotional," Turner explains. "I just want to touch people. I want them to feel something."
