ወንድምአገኝ በለጠ የተወለደው በ ፲፱፻፸፮ ኢትዮጵያ ነው። የመጀመሪያ ዲግሪውን ከአዲስ አበባ ዩኒቨርሲቲ አለ ስነ-ጥበብና ዲዛይን ትምህርት ቤት ብሎም የማስተርስ ዲግሪውን በሓገረ ኖርዌይ ትሮምሶ የስነ-ጥብብ ትምህርት ቤት ተቀብሏል። የስነ ጥበብ ስራዎቹን በተለያዩ አቀራረቦች የሚከውን ሲሆን ከነዚህም መካከል ፣ ተንቀሳቃሽ ምስል ፣ ቀለምቅብ፣ ፎቶግራፍ ፣ ጽሁፍ እንዲሁም የተለያዩ ቁሳቁሶች ይጠቀሳሉ። የስራዎቹ ሃሳቦችም ከታሪክ ፣ ከማንነት ፣ ራስን ለማወቅ ከሚደርግ ጥረት ጋር ይዛመዳሉ። በሂደቱም መዛግብትንና ቁሳቁስን የመተርጎምና የማካተት ዘይቤን ይከተላል።
