About the Artist

N.E. Brown was born in Pittsburgh, PA and grew up in the greater Pittsburgh area. Brown pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing at Tyler School of Art: Temple University, then later pursued a Master of Fine Art in painting and drawing at the University of Iowa. Currently, Brown’s work uses mixed media including painting, drawing, pyrography (burning on wood), and woodworking to map the intersections between personal memory, family dynamics, national history, and racial identity.
