In 1954 he began teaching at the University of Hawaii (Honolulu). He taught at the University for over 25 years, and during this time founded the renowned East-West Centre, in Honolulu, "to strengthen relations and understanding among the peoples and nations of Asia, the Pacific and the United States." Known as a modernist artist, often using bright colours, Turnbull also created significant stained glass windows (University of Hawaii at Manoa) and murals, including at Wahiawa Intermediate School and the Kokua Market (Moiliili).
