ABOUT THE ARTIST
Christine E. Brown is a Worcester MA-based visual artist who tells her story through textiles, illustration, and poetry.
Christine is a recipient of the 2022 Apprenticeship Grant from Mass Cultural Council to become versed in natural dyes and horticulture science. She is also a 2021 graduate of the Assets For Artists Capacity-Building Grant Program, and 2023 alum of the Studios at MASS MoCA . She now works for the program as an Artist Leader, Educator, and Mentor.
Her work has been exhibited at the Boston Public Library, the Lawrence Library Art Gallery, the Arts Worcester Gallery, and the Speedwell Gallery in Portland Maine. Her textiles have been shipped all over the globe through an extension of her practice, her small business, Fawn, which began in 2013.
Christine has been writing and performing spoken word poetry for over 20 years, and can be found at many colleges, Black History Month programs, poetry slams, weddings, clubs, and special events in New England and beyond.
Community building, and cultivating sincere and lasting connections are among Christine’s core values, so as a remedy to the devastating isolation the pandemic caused, in 2020 the small working group Night Class was founded. Now in its third year, Night Class is a strong cohort of women makers and artists who gather regularly to support one another in building a creative life.
