A brief History
Karen Blixen showed creative talent early in life, but it was not until later that she started writing. In 1902, at the age of 17, she took classes at the private drawing school of Charlotte Sode and Julie Meldahl in Copenhagen, and the following year she was accepted by the newly established women’s school at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Her most well-known artworks are: Young Kikuyu Girl and Abdullahi Ahamed.
Karen Blixen called her house in Kenya ‘Bogani’ or ‘Mbogani’ meaning ‘a house in the woods’.
