As an art administrator she managed all aspects of an art school, summer art camps, developed museum tours and interpretive materials and many other projects. Brown has also curated exhibitions at the Cornell Museum of Art, ArtServe, and Boynton Beach Cultural Art Center Gallery.

She currently works full time in her art studio and teaches watercolor at the Armory Art Center. Most recently Brown exhibited her watercolors at the 23rd Annual Palm Beach Show and had her artwork published in The Art of Saltwater coffee table book. Brown’s background and her ongoing engagement with the coastal landscape continues to inspire her work.
