Kiera Beckles

Barbadian visual artist Kiera Beckles began drawing and painting at a young age and developed a passion for creating. She completed her Associate Degree in Visual Art in 2020, and three years later completed her Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art. She has a particular interest in abstraction, natural elements, mixed media, and fashion. Kiera seeks to create visually engaging pieces and encourage viewers to interact (either with the piece or with other viewers). Her first major exhibition was in 2023 in the Barbados Community College exit exam entitled ‘O-pit-in’, where she first explored having the audience interact with her work. Kiera currently creates meticulous paintings on both wood and canvas and incorporates mixed media elements. She established Kie Studios in 2023.
