Beatrice was born in the Ngong Hills Area in 1978. After attending local primary and secondary schools, she was admitted to the Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts, in Buruburu, a neighborhood in Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya. In 2002, she graduated with a Diploma in Fine Art.[2]
Careeredit
Her work is divided into distinct phases (a) Mortality Phase (b) X-ray Phase (c) American Experience Phase (d) Introspective Phase.[3]
Mortality Phase
This phase reflects Beatrice's personal feels of profound personal loss, following the death of her mother, with whom she was very close.[4]
X-Ray Phase
In this phase, she appears to strip away the exterior of her subject and look directly "into the very soul of her subject".[4]
American Experience Phase
In the second decade of the 21st century, Beatrice spent three months in the state of Vermont in the United States. Her visit coincided with the Occupy Wall Street Movement. This phase of her art involves work with embedded newspaper clippings on the topic from this period.[4]
Introspective Phase
This phase continues the search for the soul and internal meaning. One piece from this phase is "The Strangeness of My Madness" and another one shows weeping teeth.[4]
Other considerationedit
Beatrice Wanjiku has exhibited her work in galleries and public and private exhibitions internationally.[3][5]
