Brown is a working-artist with experience spanning multiple mediums. After the birth of her daughter (and also becoming an Army wife), she found success as a freelance painter with over one hundred private commissions within six years; these included murals, paintings, and installations in private homes and businesses in Monterey, CA, Killeen TX, Austin TX and all around Wake, Halifax, and Warren counties. In combination to her visual arts experience, Brown brings to Good Goblin a multi-faceted knowledge of the arts that spans over twenty years. Drawing inspiration and motivation from the people with whom she worked, both on and offstage, Brown is excited to build an organization that supports the hard-working and creative people of the surrounding areas.
