Beulah Jaenicke was born in Leader, Saskatchewan in 1918. She took classes at the Canadian Institute of Associated Arts in Vancouver. Her instructors there included Clark Stevenson, J.W.G. Macdonald, and Gerald H. Tyler.

In 1938 she exhibited one painting in the 55th Annual Spring Exhibition of the Art Association of Montreal. Her address was given as 1103 Robson Street, Vancouver, B.C. in the exhibition catalogue. That was actually the address of The Art Emporium.

She exhibited in the B.C. Artists annual exhibitions in 1937-1940, 1942, 1944-1946, held at the Vancouver Art Gallery. She also showed her work with the B.C. Society of Fine Arts in 1940 and 1944.

She was a member of the Atelier Sketch Club, a group formed by art students taking Evening Classes at the Vancouver School of Art. The group put together an exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1940.

She enlisted in the C.W.A.C.'s in 1942, and became 2nd Lieutenant by 1947, working in the promotion section of army recruiting in Ottawa. She married in 1945. Her name is listed in British Columbia Women Artists 1885 - 1985 as Baulahi.

She moved to Toronto in 1947 and spent most of the rest of her life there. She died in 2018 just short of her 100th birthday.
