Roxanne Brown

BIOGRAPHY Roxanne L. Brown I was born in Sussex England, raised in New Mexico and Laredo Texas. My family moved to Hampton, Virginia after my father’s retirement at Langley Air Force Base. I graduated from Kecoughtan High School, received my Associate Degree from Saint Leo College and a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Art Education Mastter’s from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I taught art (K-12) for Hampton City Schools (HSC) for 32 years. While teaching, I became a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescence through Young Adult/Art, received a Teaching Endorsement in Gifted Education (K-12) from Shenandoah University and a Master’s degree in Art Education from VCU. I've had the honor of serving a couple of terms on the Hampton Arts Commission and Hampton Arts Foundation Boards as well as my National and local Art Education Associations. In my retirement from HCS, I started working in my art studio on embroidery, drawing, watercolor and acrylic paint. When I am not drawing, painting or reading, I am in the yard with my husband, at the YMCA, visiting a local art gallery/museum or enjoying time with family and friends.
