Originally from the suburbs of Atlanta, GA, Jesse Brown grew up in a predominantly female household
that shaped his early ideas of masculinity and power. His practice examines the cultural structures that have
defined the United States, exploring how greed has been a driving force behind its endeavors.
Brown holds an MFA from the Maine College of Art and Design and currently teaches at Butler University. His
work has been exhibited nationally, including at the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson and the Institute of
Contemporary Art in Portland, Maine.
