About Jonnique

Jonnique Beadle (b. 1998, Nassau, The Bahamas) grew up on the island of New Providence and is a visual artist who primarily works out of her home studio. Beadle’s interest in visual arts stems from her natural curiosity and experimentation with different media including painting, printmaking, and textile work. She gains inspiration from her observation of society and its cultural nuances. Most of her work focuses on women, as she says: “I see myself in the women I portray in my work. Each of them represents me at a different period and mental state in my life.” Through her work, she aims to create a viewfinder for the audience, allowing them to interpret each piece however they may need or want.

The artist held her first solo exhibition at her home studio in 2017, where she exhibited work produced while at The University of The Bahamas. Her second solo exhibition, Façade, was held at Hillside House in 2019. The show tackled one of the prominent codes and rationales that define society: hiding one’s true self. Beadle also participated in the group exhibition Over Head Bin in 2021 at The Current Gallery, Baha Mar.

Beadle holds an AA degree in Fine Arts from the University of The Bahamas and a BA degree in Fashion Product Development from Columbia College, Chicago, Illinois. She currently works with a local bridal couture company, where she is a design assistant and seamstress.
