She also studied at the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute of Art, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>She has received two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, a New Jersey State Individual Artist Grant, and has been the recipient of Special Opportunity Grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Brown is best known for sculpture.
