Gemini Vaghela (b. 1980) is a Kenyan mixed-media visual artist working across painting, photography, and wearable art. Her work explores themes of self-awareness, environmental preservation, and humanity’s relationship with nature through layered materials and abstract forms.

She works with mixed media including acrylic paint, ink, sand, paper, sawdust, and spray paint to create textured compositions that invite reflection on social and environmental issues.

Vaghela practiced as an artist in Perth, Australia for several years, where she was part of the Blender Art Gallery community and participated in annual exhibitions. After returning to Nairobi, she continued to exhibit both locally and internationally.

Her work has been shown at venues including the Nairobi National Museum, Banana Hill Art Gallery, Kuona Trust, and The Souk Gallery. One of her artworks was featured in the official press release for UN Expo Milano 2015, and her work has been shortlisted in the Art Revolution Taipei competition. She has also participated in global art events such as the Amref Artball in New York.

Beyond painting, Vaghela creates wearable art scarves and fabrics printed with her hand-painted designs bringing her environmental messages into everyday fashion.

She holds a degree in Interactive Multimedia Technologies and a Diploma in Photography, which inform her interdisciplinary artistic approach.
