Brooks Brown

Brooks Brown attended the Academy of Art Institute in San Francisco, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting. She then returned to the Virgin Islands, where she worked in the family-owned business for over 45 years. In time, she was able to step back from the daily operation of the business, and she eventually retired completely to pursue a second career in art. Ms. Brown moved to Aiken in 2018 to enjoy the “three trifecta blessings” that drew her to the area. The first was the Aiken Center for the Arts, where artists and members could display their works. The second was the Aiken Training Track; she says, “Aiken had me at Cot Campbell’s Clocker Stand.” The final blessing was a perfect house available for immediate purchase.
