ATMOSPHERICS SERIES (2024-present)
Atmospherics grew out of a need to create comforting images in a time of political instability. Brown makes use of colors and imagery that are personally uplifting and provide a buffer against the torrent of bad news.
Brown’s personal belief is that “art can offer an energetic experience for viewers that is borne of the intention the artist brings to the creation of the work, much like a meal made with love somehow tastes better. In this series, I hope others are able to join me in these sacred spaces of peace and tranquility.”
