Born 1979
Omaha, NE
Based in San Pedro, CA
Renowned for her previous ocean-based endurance works, Brown has performed works like
2007’s Supercommute, which included a 12-mile swim across four shipping lanes in the Port of
Los Angeles, the western hemisphere’s busiest port. She considers her performance art works
as part of her commitment to thinking through the linked issues of sustainability, consumption
and waste management. The San Pedro-based artist is also a seasonal wild land fire fighter and
dive boat captain.
