About the ArtistCurriculum Vitae
Simone Brown is a multi-media artist currently earning a bachelor’s
in fine arts degree in Art, Media, and Design at DePaul University (June 2026).
Based in Chicago, Illinois, Brown creates work primarily with painting and
printmaking techniques utilizing texture, pattern, and animal life as her most
prominent iconographies. Her work is largely influenced by an admiration for
marine organisms, which she developed while living near the ocean in Southern
California during her formative years. Brown is artistically motivated by rock
and shoegaze music, self-discovery, and exploring visual depictions of
admiration and unease with aquatic and parasitic life forms. Throughout her years
as an artist, Brown has been included in multiple art exhibitions around the
East Coast and Midwest United States, including End of Year Exhibitionin Chicago, Illinois and Cluster Show in Aldie, Virginia, and frequently
showcases her work online.
