            <text>Crystal Ann Brown is an interdisciplinary artist/mother/academic currently working in Buckhannon, West Virginia. For the past 9 years, her work has focused on holistically blending art and life. This blending of her studio practice with her daily life also touches on its inherent challenges. In her words, “my love/hate relationship with my kitchen might manifest in my drawings and paintings that celebrate work and the labor of love with a hint of fury and frustration shown in the economy of line found in blind contour drawings.” Her practice strives to reveal the underappreciated aspects of mothering and everyday life through the use of textiles, sculpture, time-based media, social practice and drawing.</text>
